3 monitors (only 2 DVI Ports) - Mrkrabz - 18.07.2010

I currently have 2 screens, but am wanting to upgrade to 3 screens.

I currently have 2 DVI ports on my GFX card, And the 2 screens plugged into that, Both using DVI - VGA cables.

I am wanting another screen so i was thinking of a VGA splitter, but then i realised that would just repeat the image on the other screen.

The 3rd sceen has HDMI, VGA, SCART.

What can i do? Apart from getting a new GFX as this one is new :3

Nothing expensive either, i saw some stuff for like 30 pounds. (They were USB - VGA)

I think USB to VGA adapter would suit the best, in fact I think that's the only alternative to an other GFX card.

Get a "Eye Infinity Setup".

USB to VGA would be the best option, although it will use some CPU usage. Common with USB based adapters. The better option would be buying a separate adapter that splits one into three. It would be more expensive, but worth it if you want core performance.
