If I want it to run three monitors do I need 3 GTX Graphics Card

No you definitely do not need 3 GTX 680's to run 3 monitors. As far as 1920x1080 monitors, a single GTX 680 can handle them no problem. If you plan on gaming with 3 monitors at higher resolutions such as 2560x1440 or 2560x1600 then you will need at least 2 GTX 680's to maintain acceptable framerates, but for just internet, email, and common computer tasks you will only need 1.

"Yes it can. Depending on what you're doing, whether gaming or not, and the resolution of the monitors the performance will vary but it can definitely do 3 monitors."

Nope! All you need is a graphics card with the power to push three monitors. There is a splice style cable that can hook all three monitors to one graphics card. Depending on what type of monitors your talking about, resolution and size of the monitor will play into what type of GPU you will need to push all three. 3 2560 x 1440 or more in resolution will require more graphics horsepower. If you have the money, I would go with a Titan but they are pricey. Make sure you are checking the specifications on the monitors and matching it to the GPUs ability.

You have to have two active adapters and one VGA to get three monitors (in my experience). One active adapter and one passive adapter does not work.

Yes. It can support up to 4 monitors. The 4GB allows it to run on multiple monitors smoothly.

The card has three possible outputs to monitors, but I have never seen software that will drive three monitors. I use UltraMon and it is limited to a dual monitor setup. My guess is that you'll be limited by your choice of software/drivers.

Yes you should be able to use another graphics card simotaneously with this one. If you aren't running more than a two screen setup this would be highly unnecessary. Unless you run animation/3D modeling editing software on both screens or simotaneously

Sure does, I'm running 3 at 5760x1080. It will support up to 4 monitors total.

I am currently running 3 monitors on this card. I believe the max is 6 if you have the correct adapters.

it can run up to four monitorsbut if you're looking to play newer games then say Call of Duty 3 with for monitors you may consider a higher end card because your frame rates will be very low

The OS shouldn't matter. It does work with 3 monitors but no more. If you want to use more than 3 then this card isn't for you. Very good card for gaming on low to medium settings, if you want a somewhat strong card for a low price, go with this, if you want a very good card, go with the nvidia 680, I have that in my PC for gaming.

I am using only two monitors but I would guess that three are fine. The card has only two DVI ports and one extra HDMI and probably works like any other single card (that is two monitors). I would be worried about the power input but that is a different issue.

This unit comes with the NVIDIA GForce. There are 3 connections on the video card; VGA, DVI and HDMI. I know it handles two monitors. I believe with most video cards in this price range you can use only two of the three connections simultaneously.

It should be able to do so. You may need to buy a splitter though. If you have 3 monitors you may consider running 2 from the video card and the third from your motherboard's onboard graphics card if you have one. Otherwise the hardware on the motherboard is just going to waste anyway.

Yes. 2 HDMI outputs and 2 DVI allows you to use a three screen gaming setup and have a fourth screen for other stuff (GTX 680 at least). Check the nvidia website, they answer all these questions and have pictures of such setups.

I have never seen computer monitors enter into a duel...they have a hard time walking 20 paces :) However, the built in "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 645" can output to up to 4 displays (spanning 3 together plus a separate accessory display): 1 HDMI port, 1 Displayport, 1 DVI-I and one DVI-D, so you will need to combine these available outputs.

Yes, but remember each will get a piece of the processing power from the GPU. It is better to run a video card for the these purposes. You can get a decent mid range card for under a hundred bucks. Another consideration is that unless you lower the resolution on HDMI and DVI to that of VGA, your resolution will be inconsistent. This is very annoying when trying to work with multiple screens.

No, unfortunately this card will not support 3 monitors. You can use 2 monitors , however, if you choose to play any high graphic games such as WoW the card will over work itself and may cause it to error out on both monitors. What you would need is a 1G graphics card, most of them will support 3 monitors. Hope this helps.

Did you load the software that came with it? If not then you should. I used that to configure vs using the nvidia config so that I can run 3 monitors at the same time. Also when I had updated my video driver it killed it. I had to roll the driver back to allow it to work again
