Do I need triple head to go?

[PingPong]

Hello

I am thinking of upgrading my display to a widescreen triple display, I am going with 3 22" monitors and a mounting frame.

The question I have is this, I already have 3 video cards in my machine Nvidia 280 gtx in triple SLI and therefore could in theory drive each monitor with one card. Conversely I could buy the matrox triple head to go.

I would rather not spend the money if I didn't have to as this is getting expensive as it is. Can FSX be spread over 3 monitors without the triple head 2 go?

If you have multiple video cards you can run as many monitors as there are connectors on the back of them.

I have 3 Samsung 22" monitors and a 27" LCD Tv hooked to my work computer.

I do not have the triple mount but really would like to have one.

If you go with multi monitors I would suggest you do spend some money and purchase Ultramon to control them.

I have used it for the past 8 years without a problem.

I got the Triple Head 2 Go... and i feel it surpasses multiple video cards in one aspect, it is not hardware-dependent...

the main benefit of the TH2Go is it's portability, being able to keep your 3 screens when you change your hardware, regardless of which or how many GPUs you have

the down side though, is that, when compared to a triple GPU setup, the very high resolution imposed by the TH2Go is very demanding on hardware, and will somewhat lag your system if you don't have the horsepower to back it up... but given that you DO have 3 GPUs, i don't think it would be your case
