I need some help on video card recommendations for a specific application. We have a Dell Precision T7600 workstation with 2 ATI FirePro V7900 driving 6 40" NEC Professional monitors running 720p resolution (3 monitors per card). This machine is for monitoring multiple camera streams. At any time we could have 40 or more H.264 videos rendering on the screens at any one time. The CPU/Memory are not being taxed at all but the video can get very chunky when watching the streams.
Running fewer camera feeds but having the windows larger seems to cause the video to be somewhat choppier. Both these cards and the Nvidia Quadro cards seems to be geared towards 3D rendering and mention very little about video. The Quadro K5000 mentions high performance video on the website though.
This machine is on, and displaying video 24/7 on at least 3 of the 40" screens. The Power supply in this PC is 1200w so it can pretty much run anything. Heat and cost to run the cards are not a factor.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
