3x monitors from one video card

Its that a rebadged 5xx series?, not sure if they do 3 at a time.
Think you need kepler chip.

Any particular suggestions? It's not going to be used for anything exciting like gaming, or video encoding, just playback.

Geeee. not sure chill. Apparently the 560Ti and above can do surround, so that means 3 screens.....you could get it and return if it doesnt.......

As previous, I know the older cards like mine required a display port adapter or monitor to use 3, but I'm not sure about newer cards.

So Nvidia cards cant just run 3 screens?
I have 3 screens on my 6870, though it did require an active adapter to DVI to run it and I dont run eyefinity just 3 screens and a 4th one off a usb adapter, I need to get a better screen before removing the usb vga adapter.

Hopefully not that specific one... Seems to be only in stock from one very dodgy shop.

Yes they can, I was getting confused with which generation did 3d surround on one screen and normal 2D windows, and TBH, it is still confusing which models will support what.
Kepler GPUs will support 4 on same card, Fermi 4xx did 2 in 3D, 5xx is 3 in 3D.....The benefit of NV over AMD is that AMD requires the adapter
