Been reading these forums a while now and thought Id give building a vp a go, I have an original back box and wanting to mount my old pc in there to give me easy access when I want to tinker with stuff, my problem is with the gfx card, it is a gtx 970 and has hdmi and two dvi ports, Im guessing I cant run 3 monitors from this and my board does not have onboard gfx. I have 3 quadro 4000, 2gb cards but do not know if they would have the power to run the software very well, does anyone have any experience with them?

You will be able to run 3 monitors to the 970. You just need the right cables

Ah right I’ve only just noticed the dp port which has a cover on it, my apologies I should have googled first, so I can use the dp, hdmi and dvi ports to get my 3 monitors running?
