No i wont use sli because i know that wont work.

No and "I won't use SLI because it won't work?" haha..

Practically not doable. Youd need to do some serious driver modding and diying to make it work two different gpus together at all

Personal Build Project "Rained-On"

helped building up the CPU Overclocking Database and GPU Overclocking Database, check them out ;)

Care to explain why don't you want SLI? And the closest thing to what you describe is a motherboard with Virtu MVP and a CPU with a built in graphics processor, which doesn't do what you're asking.

Just use a dedicated gpu for the center display and integrated graphics for the 2 auxiliary ones.

How would one go about configuring that? I've never heard of such a thing.

Go into the bios and enable IGD Multi monitor.

Then I guess it's doable if OP has integrated option available and a board that supports it.

 

@Konn1nn you'll have to look up your board to see if it has this feature. It appears that "IGD Multi monitor" goes by different names depending on your board.
