Hi all I want to know one thing, I use FCPX 10.2.3 and use two monitors, one for the Timeline and the other for the viewer to full screen 1920x1080.

Now I would like to put a third monitor to see the Broswer where all the clips, I installed a video card nvidia Asus GTX960 2GB with three video outputs:

  DVI + HDMI + DisplayPort.

I can connect the third monitor to DisplayPort through an adapter DispalyPort vs hdmi?
In this way I can see the browswer always open?

thank you

I don't think you can do this in your machine (which I presume to be an older Mac Pro).
Currently the only way FCP X can work with three displays is by having one work as an "AV Output" - showing the timeline in full screen - and with other two using one of "Show Events on Second Display" or "Show Viewers on Second Display" option.
In order for the AV output option to be available you need to either have a dedicated AV device or a recent MP or MBP using HDMI in a supported resolution.

I'm with Lichinho on this one. My setup is 2 displays (one for the browser, the other for the timeline, viewer and panels) and 2 external monitors. But I don't think you will be able to get interface to use 3 displays.
