    Hello I want to connect multiple monitors on one desktop. I want atleast 3 monitors together. I know I can use a display port, HDMI for 2 of the monitors. Can the 3rd monitor be connected by DVI?

    Also What video card would be the best for connecting multiple monitors and playing good intense games?

    Radeon graphics or NVIDIA? If there is any specific video card model please let me know.
    If there is anything else I have left out please let me know as well.

    Thank you very much.

    Note that there are also very few notebooks that support eyefinity even though technically the GPU in it can or at least that was the case one year ago.
