I have an AMD 5670 2gb graphics card and three 20' Samsung SA300B monitors (1600 by 900 pixels) and i was looking at connecting all three of them.
I was looking at a 'Triple-header to go' but they are very expensive and so i was looking for another way to connect.
If i were to use a UGA-2K-A (a usb to dvi conector) for one of them and conect the other two direct to the GPU; would it work?(I run off Win 7 HP 64bit)

Googling is quicker than waiting for an answer....
How many video-out ports does your card have? I just did a quick search & the ones I found all have 3 ports - HDMI, DVI, & VGA. What's the problem?
I don't think you can use both HDMI and DVI at the same time. It is either, or. I could be wrong. You can use a splitter on say the VGA to clone two monitors.
Do you want to display different graphics on each monitor?
I wasn't aware of that device. Looks like it should work.
Graphics Cards with 3 outputs, usually only allow 2 simultaneous connections.. Googling is quicker than waiting for an answer....
yes, i wanted to extend all three displays so they can all be displaying different images
"Graphics Cards with 3 outputs, usually only allow 2 simultaneous connections.." That's why knowing the exact card is important. I took a shot at it in response 2 but the OP didn't comment. But if the card supports Eyefinity, it should support 3 indpendent displays.
"ATI Eyefinity multi-display technology
◦ Three independent display controllers
• Drive three displays simultaneously with independent resolutions, refresh rates, color controls, and video overlays◦ Display grouping
• Combine multiple displays to behave like a single large display"
