    Radeon 57xx feature 2 DVI and 1 HDMI i think.
    I don't think you can get any single-slot cards with the connectors you mentioned.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: advice on new gpx card for pc

    Actually we should ask why? while most graphics cards have 3 ports on them they can only work two monitors at once.
    To work 3 monitors you need one of the following
    -Two cards, one card to run one monitor the other card the run the other two monitors.
    -5xxx series ATi running eyeinfinity, this requires one of the monitors to be connected via dispaly port (a type of connector)
    -A Proffesional card, certain of the "pro" card are designed to run more than two monitors, however they are expensive and often use odd connections so may require additional adaptors and messing about to get it working.

    If you're just planning to run a desktop and have a pci slot free, then the simpliest answer is just get almost any pci card.
    However if you're running Vista then you will have issues as it doesn't like having two sets of graphics card drivers, esp two different makes (ie ati+ati is ok nvidia+ati is not)

    This is the only card I could find that should work http://www.thecomputerengineers.co.u...rod_12114.html
    No idea about that e-tailer though.
    If you're running windows 7 or xp then drivers should not be an issue and any pci graphics card should do (note you want 128mb graphics card ram to run a single desktop at 1920 x 1080 (1080p) x 32bit colour)

    An ATI card supporting eyefinity is probably your best bet.

    Saying that, are you wanting three screens? Or just need the different connections for different tasks?
