I found a product that plugs into your graphics card and enables you to use a Triple Monitor setup. It looks pretty sweet, and i was wondering if anyone here uses it?

is a link to all supported games and screenshots from many of them. It looks pretty intense

I'm pretty sure you can just tack on a PCI gfx card (if you don't support SLI or 4 monitors from SLI isn't enough) and just redirect the data from your main gfx card through the PCI card with only the inherent speed loss of having 3,4,5 or more monitors

that deals with it for 3, but i had one where a guy used 4 PCI graphics cards to control 7 monitors on UT2004, sad that they were all 14" viewable CRT's but an interesting article, I'll try to find it.

So in my setup Monitor 1 is PCI Radeon 7000, Monitor 2 and 3 are both served by single Radeon 9600.
What ever card you plug the monitor into, that card handles its rendering... so if you have a bunch of free PCI slots u can actually fill them with PCI Video cards and hook up as many monitors as you want.

So multi-monitor systems are wicked cool, and look fantastic. But you'll take a hit in performance cuase u'll be rendering 3 times the realestate
