Alternative hardware to Matrox TH2G ????

Would you be able to use the following device instead on TH2G ?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817707056

Two display outputs and a second one on the video card, which makes it three.. Right ?

I'm probably getting something wrong with this, but it looks alright.

Less than Nearly half of TH2G.

Will everything be the same? Thanks.

No.

That card simply duplicates your signal.

AKA you have one monitor with a 3d game going in there. That then duplicates the signal so you can have the EXACT SAME PICTURE on 2 other monitors.

To my knowledge, there is NO useful alternative to the matrox TH2Go, I had to learn this lesson too.

There is a useful alternative, SoftTH. It has more drawbacks than the TripleHead2Go, but implementing it is less expensive.

JKeefe, I dunno about SoftTh, but the topic of this thread is 'alternative hardware'

It may be, but you said "there is NO useful alternative to the matrox TH2Go" and I thought that was misleading.
