You need two cards for 3 monitors with Nvidia. I suppose a couple 1gb GTX 460 or GTX 560's should do what you want.

isn't almost every Nvidia card out there limited to two screens at the same time unless u use, atleast two cards?

even W1zzard wrote that when he tested the "Zotac GeForce GTX 450 AMP! Edition" with DisplayPort.



W1zzard said:
The card has two DVI ports, one HDMI port and one DisplayPort. Unlike AMD's latest GPUs, the output logic design is not as flexible. On AMD cards vendors are free to combine six TMDS links into any output configuration they want (dual-link DVI consuming two links) - and use them all at the same time. On NVIDIA cards you can use only two displays at the same time, so for a three monitor setup you would need two cards.

Well, there's always AMD/ATi. One card is all you need. 6870 or a 6950 would work.
