Need a quad screen capable graphics card

[SuperSaiyan4]

Hi all,

Am looking to build a PC for someone but they want a graphics card that can output to 4 screens is there such a card and if so does Overclockers sell it? The screens will most likely be VGA screens but will be able to get adaptors for them so they run on DVI.

Im all confused I thought AMD did one? Could someone please link me directly to a graphics card that can output to 4 screens without having to buy 4 graphics cards please? >.<

Thanks for that but isn't there gaming ones? What about these pc's running all these high end games on like 4 monitors?? I would have thought there would have been better spec'ed ones.

So a single 6990 will allow me to have 4 displays? Is there a cheaper alternative?

 

[SuperSaiyan4]

Basically the person I am building it for wants to use it for work and is looking to use 4 old screens the old square ones not wide screen so they will probably be vga only I have encouraged this person to get up to date screens but they prefer the older square design (flat panel monitors) due to word and excel spread sheets appearing as square instead of stretched onto widescreens it sounds weird I know but that is what this person wants.

So I could get 2 cheap cards and get adaptors for them to run off the cards mentioned that helps a lot so I will look into doing that instead.

What does it mean by 1xdual dvi?? Ok so you reckon 2 cheap cards instead that have 2 dvi sockets on each card? and then crossfire them?

 

[SuperSaiyan4]

Or should I just get 2 of these?

Ok forgetting all that I just want a graphics card around £150 that will output to 4 screens simple

It would help if you gave us the spec/model of the monitors and the motherboard things will be slotted into.

Dual link dvi is used for very high res (2560x1440+) or 120hz 1080p screens.

I assume the monitors in question will be at most 1920x1200 so you could use hdmi to dvi cables as well as the standard dvi to dvi if they are digital screens.

They will be 19inch monitors on naitive res say 1440x900? But 4 of them they will be DVI and or HDMI connectors.

Motherboard Asus M5A97 Pro.

that ok?

 

[SuperSaiyan4]

im getting this? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-255-AS

Ok cheers gonna get the 6950 though as my friend wants to try to use 6 monitors at a later stage.

Will I be ok with a 650w psu or should i get a 750w?

 

[SuperSaiyan4]

The 2gb card doesnt have all the display ports that the 1gb card has also noted on the adaptors that isnt an issue.

Thanks for all your help guys

 

[SuperSaiyan4]

Ah thats basically an extra £50 and since ive opted for a corsair 650w powersupply instead of the 750w think ill stick to the 1gb card, cheers though.
