Thanks. It is a Mac and replacing the current card is not an option. I will just order either the cables or the adapters and see that happens. If it doesn't work I will only be out 30.00 or so.

Most nVidia cards, including the GTX 580, only support 2 monitors at one time, no matter how many connections on the card. I have a second GPU for my third monitor. The 680 does support 3 (and maybe another model) but if going nVidia, read carefully.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
–Stanley Kubrick
