    Hiya, First post,

    Just a quick question

    I've been offered 2 of these - 8400GS

    Can I use both of them together as part of a multi monitor set up(3 screens)
    Not eyefinity or for gaming or anything, Just 3 screens making up an extended desktop.

    Current set-up
    Windows 7
    i5-2400
    ASUS P8H67 Rev 3.0
    16gb Ram
    Super-Flower SF700A14A 700W

    Yeah, I'm sure you can just split the monitor outputs per card. I need to do this soon as well tbh.

    I don't think an 8400GS really takes enough power to worry about it.
