Graphics card option for six monitor setup

[Neil42843]

Hi, I am planning a build of a new PC and looking for some guidance advice on graphics cards.

I need my PC to support 6 monitors. I am using the PC for general work / productivity / data processing purposes and I wont be doing any gaming or graphics processing work on it. I will be using the individual monitors to show individual applications.

I’ve looked at the options for graphics cards and I think the NVIDIA RTX 20 series would be suitable as they support 4 monitors each so I believe I’d need to plan for 2 of these in my PC build. Or if I bought a motherboard with 2 monitor outputs would I then just need one of these cards to give me 6 monitor capability? Would that work?

My question is that as I do not need the graphics performance from the card, only the multi monitor capability, are there any more cost effective ways I can achieve the 6 monitor setup without buying a £200+ graphics card for which I won’t gain the benefit from? I’ve considered using Display Port daisy chaining from a single graphics card but my current monitors are not compatible which would mean I’d need to buy more therefore becoming more expensive than buying an extra card.

…also, I’ve never built a PC using 2 or more graphics cards, aside from making sure you’ve enough slots to plug them in is it just a case of installing more cards to increase your monitor outputs?

Thanks

This has 6 mini display port outputs so you would just need the one card.

AMD Radeon Pro WX 9100 16GB HBM2 Graphics Card

Another option is a motherboard cpu combo with display output options, and use them combined with graphics card outputs.

Thanks…it’s outside of my budget but handy to know its an option.

Ok, so it is ok to use a motherboard with display output with an additional graphics card. Presumably, the number of graphics cards is only limited by the number of slots on the motherboard?

that AMD Radeon Pro is for multi display + some fairly serious processing power. It sounds like you just want the multi display part. You used to be able to get cards like the "AMD 7750 2GB GDDR5 6M" which fitted this section of the market. These days dont see too many multi display setups of 3+ monitors now the super wide displays exist.

This card is apparently still available from other online stores though it is now dated, not sure if any board partners offer a similar product using the latest generation tech
