nLinked Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Can this card allow 4 monitors to connect, each with its own display (not cloned)? EVGA GTX 550Ti SuperClocked 1GB GDDR5 DVI HDMI PCI-E.. | Ebuyer.com
Michael Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 Do you mean to extend the display across 4 screens? You should be able to extend across 2 screens, not sure about 4. I'm guessing you'd need a graphics card with 4 outputs.
3s-gtech Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 IIRC, no it can't. AMD Eyefinity or two cards needed for that at the moment.
Norphy Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 If you want to drive four monitors from one graphics card, you'll probably want to look at Matrox. They're not cheap though Matrox Graphics - Products - Graphics Cards - M-Series - M9140 LP PCIe x16 https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&tbm=shop&q=Matrox+M9140&oq=Matrox+M9140&aq=f&aqi=g2&aql=&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=678l678l0l1249l1l1l0l0l0l0l189l189l0.1l1l0&safe=images

Norphy Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) You can put multiple graphics cards inside a PC assuming you have adequate slots. That card along with a PCIe x1 card or two of those cards if your PC has two physical x16 slots would most likely work perfectly. http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/id-210-pci-e-x1-edition.html Edited February 21, 2012 by Norphy
localzuk Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 This would do the job - ATI FirePro 2460 Graphics Card - 100-505611 - Scan.co.uk
difinity Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 This work PC has 2 PCI-E x16 slots, i run 2 a Geforce 7300 and a 8600, they have a dvi and vga outputs, so i run 4 monitors. All seperate desktops. Display fusion is great for customising the wallpapers.
Arthur Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 That's correct, would like to extend across 4 displays from the same computer. The first graphics card supports upto five displays, while the second can do four. KFA2 GeForce GTX 560 Ti MDT X5 - £199.99 KFA2 GeForce GTX 570 MDT X4 - £233.33
chazzy2501 Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 you want one of these: 4 x dvi, no display port crud. Galaxy MDT GeForce GT 520 Graphics Card Review | PC Perspective
Arthur Posted February 21, 2012 Posted February 21, 2012 I would hardly call DisplayPort crud. The review above also mentions this... All four inputs support DVI-D and DVI-I monitors though the resolution is limited to 1920x1200 for each connected display.
