i recently bought a Wacom Cintiq display for Photoshop/Zbrush work and now constantly have to switch between my normal dual monitor display which i have for After Effects / Premiere Pro / Cinema 4D work to 1 monitor + Cintiq 12WX setup when retouching images and such.
Inconvenience of physically switching LaCie monitor and Cintiq display cables aside, i’m a little nervous i could end up damaging the card by pulling and pushing the card when switching cables (i have poor aim
So i’m looking to buy a secondary PCI-E card which would support Cintiq display.
-inexpensive is preferred, i already have a relatively expensive one
-would prefer if it wouldn't get very hot - my Quadro 4000 card runs pretty hot
-If i could SLI bridge with Quadro 4000 - it would be super nifty. I’m not very knowledgeable in this area, so really don’t know if it would do much for performance or should i just keep them separately.
i was also looking into a DVI ox switch, but not sure if extra converter would degrade the signal - LaCie 324i monitor was bought for color correction and is somewhat capricious - so far i was only able to use DVI input for color calibration.
any suggestions would be appreciated
