EVGA 8400 GS Nvidia 1GB DDR3, PCIe x16. Outputs are DVI + HDMI + VGA.
Can this single graphic card drive 3 displays simultaneously?
How?
 
We have systems running Microsoft Windows 7 x 64 bits.
 

thank you. That means I need motherboards with two PCIe x16 slots? Too bad, all the Intel LGA1155 motherboards only has one single PCIe x16 slots.

Should you add a second card, you won't notice any difference running 8x X 8x vice 16x X 16x, especially for general office applications.

thank you. Am I correct that all Intel LGA1155 motherboard now have nothing but PCIe slots? no more PCI slot?
 
Also, can this 512MB graphic card drive 32" 1080p full digital HD resolution video (not games)?
 
Is there graphic cards use PCIe x1 or PCIe x4 or PCIe x8 slots?
 
For VistaHead: what do you mean running 8x X 8x vice 16x X 16x? do you mean the PCIe x8 and PCIe x16 slots? Any compatible graphic cards in PCIe X8 slots?

Firestarter512: what do you mean: but 1155 CPUs only support 16 lanes across all PCI-E interfaces, so it cuts down to x8 for two slots. Well, LGA1155 Intel motherboard only has one PCIe x16 slot?
 
One of our shop test system has GeForce 6200 LE with 128MB and we are not able to drive 1080p display. The Windows 7 x64 driver only allows 1680x1050 max resolution.
 
A good reason using Intel motherboards are our bosses believe Intel mb are stable and reliable. We are trying to sell them Asus mb, but, as you know, any hiccups make our shop & support look bad and get the blame.

The Nvidia 6200 LE has a maximum supported resolution of 1600x1200 when using DVI and 1920x1440 when using VGA.
 
socket 1155 CPU's have the PCIe controller built into the processor rather than the motherboard and they have support 16 lanes of bandwidth. PCIe slots come in several physical sizes....
 

 
Even a slot may be x16 psychically it may not support x16 electrically. In the case of motherboards with two PCIe x16 slots, when you have both slots populated with a card it will limit them to x8 electrically because that is the most the CPU can deliver.
 
There are many different options for motherboards because people have different uses for them. The Intel board you're looking at is probably meant for the office or a gamer on a budget. Intel does make boards with two PCIe x16 slots as you can see here. Those boards are ideally meant for gamers who need more bandwidth for high end graphics cards. I didnt see a board by Intel with two PCIe x16 slots with one limited electrically to x4 (meant for a physics processing card or multiple displays), but other manufacturers have them....

Thank you very much for all your wise advises.
 
The Intel DZ68BC does look best for now, hopefully good enough when they decide to roll out Windows 8 for other office buildings. Two Nvidia 512MB or 1GB PCIex16 graphic cards. Do not know the other one PCIex16 slot (but x8 electrically) would reduce display resolution?
 
Which graphic card would you recommend? We had EVGA cards before, but they never brother to return our inquiry and support questions.

The reduction to x8 would not affect the maximum resolution.  The lane is much, much faster than necessary for 1080p.

AMD cards are not expensive at all if all you need is basic office computing with 3 displays. Even a card like this: http://www.newegg.com/Pro...x?Item=N82E16814131451 can power 3 displays for desktop use just fine. And you don't need any expensive adapters either, just get a few passive displayport to VGA adapters and you're set. you can find the adapters on ebay for $8 - $10 each.

The only Eyefinity-enabled PCI cards I could find on Newegg are fanless and have 512MB RAM, but start at $83 for new ones.  They are much more expensive than the PCI-E versions.

I don't have any experience with supporting them in a professional environment, so I can't help you there.

As long as you have the adapters for the outputs, this should work: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131338
 
1GB, no fan, PCI-E and $30.
