    Thank you.
    It's too much...

    So, can you help me to find cheap videocard for PCIe x16 (2.0 or 3.0) with support 3 independent monitors? This will be my choice.

    Thank you very much.

  2. I would go for http://www.sapphiretech.com/productdetial.asp?pid=E2085038-1F14-453C-AB2B-87227C599B44&lang=eng - should be around half of price of the board you provided - GTX 750 Ti is twice faster in GPGPU and 3D, has twice more memory but... it is also twice more expensive... for 2D display cheaper board may be more suitable.

    Card you write about allows only 2 monitors at once.

    I found cheap (55 € only!) video card with 3 monitors support for PCIe 2.0: EVGA GeForce GT 720 2GB DDR3
    Please check it and if you'll find any problem please let me know.
    Here's link: http://www.evga.com/products/Specs/GPU.aspx?pn=d156fe1e-ebcf-4060-8987-c00945a11f65

    Thank you.

    I was thinking of suggesting a video card with that GPU (GT 720) as well, but all that I found were passively cooled. I don't know if passive cooling is sufficient if you are running 3 independent monitors. You might be better off if you buy a video card with a fan.

    Also, most video cards take up 2 slots now, even the less expensive models. Will installing such a card block one of the PCI-e x1 slots that you are using?

    Yes, there is written about 2 slots - currently my card is placed so, that one PCIe x1 unaccessible, so no matter, if 2 or 1 slot.

    I didn't find an inexpensive, relatively recent graphics card with a fan where the card supports 3 monitors.

    This is the closest that I came to that goal: http://www.gigabyte.com/PRODUCTS/product-page.aspx?pid=6001&dl=#ov

    There are versions from EVGA too.

    Seem to be ok - however i focused on something with GDDR5 (memory bandwidth) - NVidia cheap cards using ordinary DDR3 memory... but anyway 55E look better than 130.

    First two support 3 displays, two second support 4 displays.

    Some GT 730 cards only support connecting 2 monitors.

    Ok, thank you all.
    I listed some, my decision is EVGA GeForce GT 720 2GB DDR3.

    Without your help I couldn't find any solution.
    Thank you all.
