If it's purely for productivity than almost any modern GPU will be fine.

But for gaming, then you will need at least 3gb... 4GB would be nicer though. As well as a dual card setup to push for decent FPS.

atleast 3

 

EDIT : You have a 650ti so you're not going to game, in that case im sure you don't need a lot of vram to run 3 moniitors for non gaming

The question should be how much graphics power do you need for 3 monitors @ 1080P a piece. The answer is anything that has enough GPU horse power to drive 3x 1080P monitors has enough Vram as well cause graphics horse power and Vram go hand and hand.

AMD Phenom II x4 955 OCed, HD 7850, LG 27EA33 1080P IPS, 4GB ram

If he plans to max out current games, perhaps.

If you're gaming across all of them, at least 3GB.

If just gaming on one, 1-2GB will do.

If not gaming at all, any modern gpu will do.
