    Depends entirely on the system, what display outputs it has and if it uses optimus which ports are hooked up to what gpu.

    Yes on that model it is but you won't be able to game across those 3 monitors.

    http://i.imgur.com/b6G9YbE.jpg So you can get an idea of using up to three additional monitors haha :D

    Ultra multitasking! But you can't game on three monitors except in select few laptops like the 3k GT60 version of MSI.
