    3 monitors using NIVIDIA video cards?

    Does anyone have experience using 3 monitors with one computer using NIVIDIA cards.

    Think I am going to use a GTX 1080 card for FSX software from foresight.

    I have 3 monitors. Not sure if the cards power more than one monitor or I need a card for each.

    I have the computer monitor which is in a different room.

    I have the projector in the hitting bay for the second. And I have a touch screen in the hitting bay for the third.

    I may go up to 4k for the projector but at least 1080p. The monitor on the computer could be 1080p along with the touch screen. I will have video integrated in so its not just the simulator screens being displayed but video also.

    I am curious if anyone else has done this. Do I need a separate card for each monitor. Or can I have multiple monitors off a single card. If multiple off a single card do you have issues of it driving 4k on multiple displays and the quality goes down?

    Thanks.

    In case anyone else is looking into this...

    Best Buy Geek Squad told me I can power 3 monitors off the NVIDIA GTX 1080 card but the trick is the cables. I was using hdmi. At least one of them needs to be video port. Haven't tested yet. Curious if anyone has knowledge of this. They gentlemen that did help me had the same setup of 3 monitors (different use though) using GTX 1050 card.

    I did send an email to NVIDIA but no response.
