Hi forum. I currently own only one monitor, but im now in the market to buy two more. Therefor i now ask you forum of the easiest and cheapest way of setting up 3 monitors. I currently have a nvida gtx260 that only supports two monitors. And my motherboard only supports one PCI-e GPU. The Trippelhead2go isn't really an option since it's to expensive. Thanks. |

No cheap way. Buy new GPU and two monitors identical to yours. |

Yep, not really a cheap way man, you gotta spend some cash. I was reluctant too, but it was well worth it! |

ATi: http://sites.amd.com/us/game/technology/eyefinity/Pages/eyefinity.aspx 1. Cheap ATi Radeon 5000 series card with Eyefinity support - 80$ 2. DP->VGA adapter for third screen - 30$ nVidia: http://www.nvidia.com/object/3dv-system-requirements-surround-technology.html 1. Another GeForce 260 GTX for SLI to support nVidia Surround - 200$ ATi option is the cheapest way, but in practise you want to go for high-end 5000 series card like 5870 which costs 350$, though you could trade off your current 260 for 150$, so you'd need only pay 200$+30$ (adapter). |

I would suggesting looking on eBay for someone moving from TH2G to nVidia Surround. I know someone that has nVidia surround and TH2G, I was trying to get them to sell the TH2G, I can ask if you want. |

he will also need a new motherboard for SLI what resolution is your first monitor? if its lower that 1680x1050 just sell your GTX get 2 used LCD's of the same model, an ATI 5770 and a dp->vga active adapter or get a used TH2Go cheap if your screen is bigger better get a 5850/70 |
