Hi everyone,

First of all I am new to this hardware stuff. I have few graphics cards with me:

1. 1x1 AMD Radeon HD 6670
2. 1x2 AMD Radeon HD 6600
3. 1x1 AMD Radeon HD 6450
4. 1x1 AMD Radeon HD 3600

I have my PC setup in this way:

With 1st option 2 Monitors and with other three options the graphic card connected to only one monitor each.

Now I want to connect my 5 Monitors to one PC.

My Questions are:
[1] Is there any way that using any one of the Graphics card I can connect my 5 monitors?
[2] If first question answer is "NO" then is it possible that I can use a combination of graphic cards to connect my 5 monitors to one PC.
[3] If second Answer is "YES" then which combination will give better results in performance and quality.

I have 3 PCIe Slots, So I guess i can install multiple graaphics card, but I am not sure as I have not tried it before.

Also, I have gone through AMD website and it says that I can connect upto 6 monitors and there is a utility also on the website, but I am unable to figure out the way, here is the link:

Set Up AMD eyefinity technology configuration tool

Although I am googling it and even youtube but there are certain ways found but everything seems to be very fast and I am unable to grasp. Like connectors and convertors and other stuffs, however I didn't found any relevent result for multi GPUs.

Looking forward for you all support.

Regards.

If you already own those card any combination of 3 in your 3 PCIe slots will support 6 monitors seamlessly through windows's built in monitor utility. The best you could do is only 2 of those cards if two of them support eyefinity, but you have the prerequisite of needing displayport monitors or active displayport adapters. However if any are sapphire flex editions then you don't have the displayport requirement. It's good they're all AMD so you won't have driver problems if you use the three 6xxx series.

The way I would setup with your hardware; Primary monitor on the 6670, then 2 monitors each on the 6600 and 6450. They're all relatively low power draw cards so you don't need a huge power supply but I'd still make sure your existing supply can handle everything.
