Graphics card with 6 monitor support?

[[GSV]Lemming]

I am looking for a card to power 6 HD monitors, likely all DVI inputs.

Its for a work project, displaying office apps and web pages, not gaming or graphically intensive. I don't want to mess with multiple cards, so a single card, double width is fine.

I thought any 1050 or R9 would be fine but cant see any. Are there any cards that do this natively with HDMI, DVI, mDP output combo or should I be looking at a displayport MST hub instead?

Before anyone posts, I do not want 2 graphics cards!

Thanks

Thanks for that.

this seems to be over £500 though, it would appear I could do this cheaper with a 1060 type card plus displayport MST hub for less than £250. Does anyone have any experience with an MST hub?

Other than professional cards like the AMD FirePro or NVIDIA Quadro or whatever Matrox still makes, which as you have found are all expensive, you will struggle, as the majority of gaming cards top out at 3 or 4 screens.

The only exceptions I am aware of, are specific AMD Eyefinity 6 edition cards, of which I believe were available in 5870, 5970, 6870, 7750, 7850 - Visiontek were one of the main brands of these cards (especially the later ones).

Radeon 7970 / R9 280X may also be of use as some models have 4x DP and 2x DVI (providing you only need single link DVI)

Whilst I don't want to be "that guy", unless there is a specific reason, then 2 low end cheap consumer cards will work out cheaper than any other solution (and works absolutely fine)

Thinking in reverse, how about getting a large high resolution monitor and splitting it into 6 or more areas? Or you could have three 4K monitors in portrait mode and split them horizontally. You know you want that Dell 8K monitor, don't you!

Has the motherboard you're using got any outputs? Intel chips with onboard these days can support up to 3/4 screens, so combine that with a GPU with 3/4 outputs and you should be fine. Just going to be tricky finding ones with the right outputs or cheap adapter options for the monitors you're using.

Thanks all.

I have a 4 port firepro card in the machine already, it looks like i only need an MST hub to up this to 6 outputs overall for an eyefinity display.

I appreciate I can use 2 cards, as I have done at home in the past, but due to the users and purpose for the machines I just don't want to complicate support. I remember looking ta the old 6 port games cards in years past and assumed they were still there in new versions, looks like it was dropped though.
