Can. Play everything on low mid settings at most. And probably 30fps-40fps for bf4. Think crysis 3 cant play.

Just for displaying & playing back video on 2 FHD monitors. I have done it on lowly Asus EN210, GT520, GT610, all no problem. ATI 6850 sounds like leaps & bound ahead so no problem at all. If there is, it's driver related & likely solvable by newer drivers.

Just got a 2nd hand gtx 650 with 2 dual dvi-d and get problem over and done with...didn't wanna spend too much time on it and end up buying more accessories which ends up lying around useless if it doesn't work.

Driving Multiple Displays From a Single DisplayPort

Should be able to use the DVI-D as well if it's dual-link and the cable you use has the correct number of dual-link pins.

In the end, you might even run 3 monitors. 2 monitors(MST capable) on the DisplayPort and 1 monitor on the DVI-D dual-link port.

This sounds workable but came too late....was asking and googling but somehow didn't find it. Maybe didn't try hard enough. Thanks anyway...

by far...the most helpful post
