4 outputs possible?

[Mark M]

I need to connect 3 32" lcds and one normal monitor to a pc to display 3 different sources.

Source one will be a dvd or avi
Source 2 and 3 will be powerpoint presentations or photos

Ive got the software sorted but I need to know what grpahics cards I need to be able to pull this off?

Thanks

Either 2 graphics cards with 2 outputs per card. Or a Triple Head 2 go.

I would go for 2 graphics cards. So get a board with 2x PCI-E x16 slots (Doesn't have to be x16, could be 2 x8's as long as they have the x16 socket). Then just set up windows to your hearts content.

Thats odd ...i didt think it could be like that...for example when i plug a monitor into my second ati card i get nothing from it i have to plug it into the 1st card for it to disply?

That is probably due to you having crossfire enabled.

AHhh suger well done mate..bugger was hoping to get around using another port on the 1st as i dont want the increased mhz from 157 to 400 is a bit steep for a monitor imo
