Hey does this work with 2 or 3 monitors on just the one card in it, and can they use hdmi cables for the 2 or 3 monitors?

I can't see the specific flavor of the x700 that you are intending to purchase but the answer is most likely not. You will want two graphics cards to run two monitors via HDMI cables because most cards come with one HDMI, one DP, and one DVI. on the positive side, Lenovo designed these gaming machines to make it incredibly easy to open up and add new stuff. Even the cables that connect the Extra GPU are sitting there just waiting for you.

Yes. That 3 monitor limit is based on the number of connectors.Some other venders' cards using this chipset support 4 monitors.FWIW, this is about the cheapest current card that supports two dual-DVI monitors.

No don't work with 2 monitors simultaneously, only with one on HDMI or DVI.

I would search on Google " how can I use 4 monitors" Also call or email www.evga.com and ask them. I think one card can run 2 monitors even though is has 3 connections. HDMI, DVI and VGA. I'm not smart enough to answer that question. Sorry, Bob

Yes. You can at least hook up 2 monitors through the card with many different viewing options. I think you may even be able to hook up 3 at a time if you needed to by connecting a monitor to your stock on board video as well.

Same experience here -- I couldn't get it to support 3 monitors concurrently.We ended up getting DisplayLink USB to VGA adapters for the third monitor, since we're just doing office work (documents, spreadsheet, emails). It's worked well and seemed to be the lowest cost option.If you need 3 monitors for gaming, I assume you would need 2 graphics cards (and probably a stronger power supply), although I haven't done it so can't confirm.

I've never had any problems with two screens. Just be sure to use DVI or display port because HDMI can cause isses (but this is not specific to this card.)

Yes. You can run up to 3 (verified) monitors at a time the HDMI and two dvi.

no it will not work, you will need to purchase an **active** display-port adapter in order to do 3 monitors. Atleast one of your 3 monitors will need to be set up with an active port and the other two can be hooked up with any other type of connection.

Hi, This card will support two monitors simultaneously, as stated in the manual. Given that, I don't really see why you would want to drive one monitor from the card and one from the motherboard - using system RAM rather than dedicated graphics RAM. However, if the latter is what you wanted to do, I can't think why that would not work. But, it's a great card at a bargain price so why not drive two monitors from it?

We use 2 Monitors with it. One plugged into the HDMI the other via RGB extending or duplicating the desktops works as it should. All scenarios have worked so far so we have 3 screens essentially and it works a treat. Ours came with no software. We have installed 8.1 and Office 2010 and all works as it should.

It Supports 2 monitors at one time. HDMI + VGA or HDMI + DVI or DVI + VGA. Also the DVI out is only DIV-I so it cannot be split with a DVI-D to DVI-I + VGA cable. I have tested it and it will work with VGA + 1 digital output.

If you use Both DVI ports, and the HDMI at once, 3. I'm pretty sure you can use the DisplayPort to get 4 but I wouldn't expect good gaming framerates with more than 2 monitors.

Yes, you can. It has supported two monitors. There are vga, dvi, and hdmi ports on the card.

Yes. It supports up to 4 monitors. But you have to use 2 DVI, 1 HDMI, and 1 Display Port. If you have 3 monitors with only DVI, one of them will need an adapter.

No. The Nvidia drivers only allow you to use 2 monitors at a single time with this card. I tried to use 3 monitors using the Windows interface and then again with the Nvidia driver interface. The Windows interface doesn't allow you to use 3 monitors but doesn't tell you why. The Nvidia interface specifically tells you that this card only supports 2 video outputs.

I haven't tried the HDMI but I have lesser cards that I do that with. I run 2 monitors both DVI with this card.
