I need help setting up 3 monitors on my pc.
I've got a Gateway 21.5" LCD
and a Dell 1702FP 17-inch LCD that i use currently.
I would like to add my TV as a display but my graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560) only has 2 dvi ports

What would i need to do to have all 3 monitors have their own display?

If i use a splitter my 2 monitors would just project the same display on both monitors.

I need some help understanding and figuring out how to get this to work.
 
From what I see you would need an extra card for that to work. I am going to assume that you are not gaming across all of the screens so if you wanted to add something like a GT610 to drive the TV that should work.
 
Links dont work for me.

To asnwer your original question, you cannot run 3 monitors from a single gxt 560. You will need a better card or run another 560 in sli.
 
You can only run 3 monitors in SLI when the monitors are the same resolution and are configured in 3D surround. Since he is not gaming on all 3 monitors, that will not work.

Johnb's suggestion would work, but it would eliminate the need for the 560 unless you just want to have 2 displays on it.

Your links are dead for me as well. Can you post back with what you have for open expansion slots and what PSU you have?

Click to expand...

You don't need 3d or necessarily the same resolution to use SLI and 3 monitors.
 
3D surround is different than 3D vision.

if you are on the 5xx series you do. 3 monitor support started with the 6xx series. SLI configures the cards as one so you get 3 displays configured in 3d surround or 2 monitors as an extended display. He needs 2 independent cards for a third monitor.
