Looking for new display | Can my graphics card run 3 monitors?

Hello,

 

I am looking to get a third monitor! At the moment I have 2 23" 1080p monitors running off a single GTX 780 (Here) using the HDMI and Display Port (my current monitors don't have DVI).

I am looking for another (maybe slightly bigger) 3rd monitor (I am not sure about a budget yet) used for gaming so it doesn't need to be anything special.

 

Another question I have is: Will my graphics card be able to run all 3 monitors? and how should I connect them?

 

I don't know much about monitors so the post might be missing some info, ask if you need any.

 

Thanks

I think it may be able to run three monitors. It is a really good GPU, but 3 monitors seems like a bit of a s t r e t c h.

You should be able to run three monitors with your graphics card. 
It can though give fps drops when gaming, but then you can just turn two of them off. 

 

Your graphics card has 1x DVI-D, 1x DVI-I, 1x HDMI and 1x Displayport.

What cables to use depends on which inputs your monitors have.

I can help you with the rest if you tell me/send me a picture of all the screens inputs.

My current monitors (they are the same): have 2x HDMI, 1x Display Port and 1x VGA. At the moment I am using the HDMI and Displayport on my graphics card.
