Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Need recommendation for 2nd videocard (PCI)

Hi all,
I am currently running 2 monitors from a Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB. What would be a good, CHEAP PCI card to run the other monitor?
I do a lot of 3D gaming, which obviously I want to continue doing on my primary display, running off the 9800 Pro, but I want to add a third monitor for multitasking non-game, non-video-intensive apps like Internet Explorer, Word, Final Draft, Windows Media Player, etc.
Thanks!

Sorry, I have no idea but I have a very similar question so I culdn't find any more fitting topic for it.

My setup is a dual monitor nvidia geforce fx5900 and tv out.

since dual monitor + tv out doesn't work properly I was thinking if I got me another card/pci I could run the second and third monitor on that and only one monitor on the geforce so I can use tv-out at the same time as the other three. Is this possible? and if I choose a cheap pci card would that effect the geforce so I get performance losses (or vice versa )?

hi there,

i currently run a 9800pro along with 2 pci radeon 9200's. you could get this pci radeon 7500 for $29.88 from compusa. it should be perfect for what you need. hope this helps. http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?&ref=cj&pfp=cj&product_code=304884.
