XPS 8300 GPU Upgrade
(I am NOT well-versed in computer tech so please be patient with me) Years ago, I purchased an XPS 8300 and I'm still happy with it. The stock GPU is an AMD Radeon HD 6670 that has 3 monitor ports (HDMI, DVI, & VGA). However, if I connect 3 monitors, I can only run maximum 2 active monitors (even though Windows 10 detects 3 monitors). I would like to be able to run 3 integrated monitors on my XPS 8300 at 1920 x 1080 resolution. I recently tried an ASUS NVIDIA GeForce 730 that has 4 HDMI ports. Even though it seemed to be compatible and I was assured it would work, it didn't - all I got was 3 blank screens. Does anyone know if a GPU exists that will run 3 integrated monitors at 1920 x 1080 resolution on an XPS 8300? Thanks for your attention to my question.

For productivity (not necessarily gaming) triple monitors at 1080p
You could easily use anywhere from a gtx 750, gtx 750 ti to a 1050ti for budget and it will be able to run 3 monitors at 1080p

I put this Nvidia video-card in my old Dell Vostro-460 (same as Dell XPS-8300). I run 3 monitors on it and works great for gaming. It's very close in speed to a GTX-1070.
It should be noted that I previously upgraded the Power-Supply to a Corsair-650-watt (years ago).
