    Just wondered if it was possible and how?

    having 2 external monitors plus laptop screen would be perfect for me editing.

    is it possible on nvidia 580 single gpu r3 setup?

    for the 6990 u can run multiple screens however the hdmi to dvi will shut down the laptop scren

    vga out and displayport will work no problem.

    using vga out, hdmi, and display port should allow u to use triple screen eyefinity. Gettin a adaptor to test that next week.

    I really would like to be able to run a couple of screens, i use 3 on my desktop.
    thought i was going to have to buy another desktop for when im away at my other office.

    since Dell are sending me yet another replacement system I think this one will be powerful to do what its ment to be and be a desktop replacement!

    I have the 460m, but I am able to run the internal display, one through VGA, and the other through displayport. No problems whatsoever.
