Forums -> Multiple monitors -> adding a 3rd

Hello
I have a Asus cg 5270 with an intel r g45 g43 express chipset

It has 2vga and 1 hdmi outputs
I have 2- 23” monitors connected to the vga slot they work fine
My 3rd monitor 22’ is recognized but will not enable
Can your software help with this or do I need to add a video card
Thanks for your help
Coby

I'm not familiar with this chipset, but most likely it only supports two monitors at a time.

You would need an additional video card for the 3rd monitor, UltraMon can't enable this. See the Multi-Monitor Guide for more on adding a video card.

I installed anew video card and it works fine but it overrides the video slots on the motherboard
so only 2 monitors work

If you have another free PCI Express x16 slot you could add a second video card, or you could install a USB video card for the 3rd monitor.

If you want to go with a USB video card, you could exchange the video card you bought for the USB video card, and use the onboard video chipset together with the USB video card, that should work fine.
