Triple Monitor Setup

Hi all, if i posted in wrong section please move.

I used the search funtion, but couldnt find anything relating to my question.

Im looking to do a triple 22" monitor setup. But cannot find much about it. I know about the triple2go solution, but i hear its low resolution.

I was looking to buy :

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144322

Its got 3 X dvi, meaning a dvi for each monitor, no messing about, but im wondering using this method, could i play triple screen gaming? or would it only run on the center monitor?

Its so confusing, i know it would work on a triple2go ... because thats recognizing all monitors as one big one am i correct? but the resolution is the factor im not liking + i need a better GFX (i got a x1900xt)

So yea, would using the GFX in the link allow me to use triple monitors in a gaming situation?

thanks in advance

Re: Triple Monitor Setup

You need a 700w + psu for that with 26amps on the 12v rail. Stick with quality brand names like antec , thermaltake ,or corsair.

Also note that most games are not multi monitor compatible. But some include flight simulator or crysis or maybe some games in window mode.

Re: Triple Monitor Setup

Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if i need to actually download anything or change some settings tov actually get it to work on all three monitors. I have seen videos of crysis run on 3 monitors but using triple2go (which makes the computer its one big monitor) ... but using the :

http://www.ebuyer.com/product/144322

the computer sees 3 different monitors. So would it work in the same way ?

thanks
