I have a single 4870x2 under liquid right now. On an X58 (Bloodrage Mobo).

I also have three monitors. And while right now two are working great It's really killing me that I have this third sitting here idle!

What would you recommend as the easiest way to get the third up and running?

As far as I know my only option is to get a second 4870x2. But I'd rather not spend so much if I don't have to.

Also I'd hate to try to integrate it into my loop considering how much more heat it would create. But stock cooling is a minor issue. I blast music anyway. :rolleyes:

Swap for a HD5870 or HD5970. Youll have Eyefinity.

Sell your HD4870x2.

What monitors? If your not interested in using all 3 for gaming (eyefinity) then just get a cheapo 2nd vid card to run the 3rd monitor.
