Question about displays

[Myro]

crazy question I have a 6870 now and a 22inch in a x16 slot and was wondering could I add my old 3870 to my rig and add two 17inch tube monitors to it in a x4 slot is this possible Im mainly going to be gaming on the 6870 on the 22 inch and will be just browsing on the 3870 (2 = 17inchs I really would like to do this I know its kind of crazy just wondering what kind of a performance hit I would take from this and is it even possible??????????

Your 6870 should be able to run three displays. Running extra displays off the main graphics card shouldn't really change single-monitor gaming performance at all.

If you do use the extra card to run the other displays, that's perfectly fine as well.
