You can run 3 monitors no problem, just don't expect to use Nvidia surround with it very well. If you're just wanting say a monitor for your web browser, one for game, and one for social stuff then that will work no problem.

yes, that's what i'm going to use them for.

Depends on the specific version of GTX 1050 you have, but most can run up to 3 monitors.

Check the manufacturer's website for confirmation.

i have this one: https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1050D5-2GD#sp

it says multi-view 3, so i guess that means i can run 3 monitors...

Yep, that 'multi view' is Gigabyte's way of saying how many monitors you can use :)
