Can anyone help.

I'm looking for the best Multi-monitor graphics card to connect to 3 independent monitors. I currently have a Matrox M9148 LP PCIe x16, which is causing split frames when being captured. I'm looking to upgrade to a more powerful card.

The main use for this PC is intensive video manipulation, processing and capture.

Of the three monitors attached 1 is at 1680x1050 resolution and 1 is at 1024x768 resolution, and 1 is of unknown resolution but is connected via DVI to a scaler device.

The PC is running windows XP Pro, hence I require a card with the relevant XP drivers.

Thanks in Advance

Thanks for your response. But Eyefinity doesn't support windows XP.
 
Sure it does, at least for what you're looking for:

See:
As you can see from the chart, the main feature that you need (Support for >2 displays in Extended or Clone Mode) is available in XP. Just remember that only Radeon HD-5000 series cards and higher support Eyefinity.

This was one of the first I came across at a decent price:
