I'm looking to get several Evga 01G-P3-1526-KR in the near future with 2 of the PCs needing to drive 3 monitors, both running dual DVI 1280x1024 monitors and 1 HDMI 1920x1080 TV, this won't be for gaming so I was wondering does the 520 support triple monitors or will it require a second card?

    The card has 2 DVI and 1 mini HDMI ports so I belive 1 card should handle 2 monitors but not shure about the tv at the same time, dont know if have any difference for the card run DVI and HDMI together.
     
    My sugestion buy 1 card and see if works if not buy a second one.

    Intel i5 4670 / Kingston 8 Gb  DDR3 1600 / Asus B85M-E m-ATX / Corsair 600W-CX / EVGA GTX 770 ACX / Bitfenix Prodigy M / Kingston 240 SSD / Samsung 1Tb HDD / LG Blu-Ray

    No it will not support more than 2 monitors. Even though it has 3 display outs, one of the DVI outs is shared with the HDMI out. He will need a 2nd GPU to drive a 3rd monitor.

    Alrighty, darn was hoping I could get away with 1 card without jacking up noise/power usage in the office.  Thanks for the clarification

    If you want to keep it to one cheap card, you'll have to get an AMD card to achieve this.
     
     
    This card is perfectly capable of driving 3 displays for general office use:
