I have a RX 860 and want to upgrade for editing. I am also curious about which cards are best for running two monitors. Thanks guys.

So far?? It was an excellent buy...I don't know about the dual monitor, I think you have to go up one for that, but I'd highly suggest this card. It's highly stable thus far and a good bargain for the money... SD

I use the 9100 for editing (2D and 3D) and it's nearly flawless. Crucial.com sells a 9100 with 128Mb DDR for about $80 - and it's an awesome card. I don't think the 9100 is listed on their site any longer, but if you call or email them I'm sure they would be willing to sell you one. Also - ATI was auctioning a bunch of video cards on Yahoo! Auctions for some VERY good prices. Go to ATI's site and look for their 'Auction Madness' link. Happy hunting.
