Having trouble finding information on how to tell how many monitors a single card can drive, and hoping for some help, as this is beyond my area of knowledge. I'm aware the amount of video out connectors has nothing at all to do with how many monitors can be used simultaneously.
My current PC has two video cards, one Radeon that's powering my two main monitors (DVI connected) and has an open HDMI port, but the card can only power two simultaneous monitors, and an older low-power nVidia card just there to power a 3rd monitor (VGA connected)
I'm wanting to replace the main GPU to run at least 3 monitors, 4 preferable sos I can remove the old nVidia card, but not absolutely essential.
Main purpose for this is run a 50ft HDMI cable out of the PC into my TV so I can play my Steam games on my 56" from the couch, as well as replace my dedicated HTPC. I'm assuming there'd be no problems with signal loss with a 50ft HDMI cable?
Also looking for any general advice/information from personal experience on setting up a PC to play Steam games on. I've never gamed from a PC connected to my television, just used it for netflix and XBMC and the like.
Thanks for any help.
