Can I run Mint on 3 monitors w/ i7 & GTX 970?


Forgive me if this is a newb. Linux question. But I am a newb. Linux user.

I have been playing around with mint on an old computer that I had laying around in the basement. But I'd like to replace my Win 7 with mint on my main computer

I'm asking this simple question because I recall reading that getting your graphics card to work w/ mint is a nightmare?

I7 4790k
MSI GTX 970 GPU
Gigabyte gaming 3 mobo
16gb Crucial RAM

*I'm not a gamer. So why do I have a 970? I thought it looked cool, the color scheme matches my set-up and I have 3 144mhz monitors.
**Why do I have 3 144mhz monitor if I don't game? They were dirt cheap on sale thru newegg.

Thanks everyone.

Hi, I can't see any reason why you wouldn't get mint to run with a GTX-970.

Configuring mint with 3 screens may be something entirely different.

I have 2 screens and a GTX-1060 card. But I run PcLinuxOs and I use LXDE and most of the time I use Plasma(kde5).

Plasma and lxde allow for the setup of 2 monitors.

So, the question is, What Desktop are you using? Cinnamon? KDE? Xfce? or MATE?

So it's just a matter of setting it up.

<edit> One thing I have found, it's easier to "set up" with only one monitor plugged in at first.

I usually attach the other monitor after I have updated and configured the OS

making sure I have the correct nVidia driver DKMS installed :-)

It is easier than it used to be. </edit>
