Hi,

I would like to run at least 8 monitors & possibly 12, from a Dell Precision M6800 mobile Laptop Workstation.

Monitors I want to run are Dell U2412M ( 1920x1200 ) Ultra Sharp Monitors.

The specs for the Laptop are :

Intel Core i7-4700MQ Processor

(17.3") UltraSharp FHD(1920x1080)

8GB (2x4GB) 1600MHz DDR3L

AMD FirePro M6100 w/2GB GDDR5

2.5 inch 500GB Solid State Hybrid Drive

Is it possible to do it & if yes, what other hardware, software do I need besides monitors ?

Thanks

Your firepro chipset supports up to 5 displays when docked (4 when not), i'm not sure what kind of output options you have, you may not be able to get that many if you don't have certain ports, but if you could get 5, you could probably get 3 more from USB video adapters...so theoretically...yes.

Try to run games on that kind of monitor setup and check on your AMAZING performance with his current GPU.

How does this mobile processor compare to Xeon E5645 2.4 GHz ? Because it does handle Three AMD FirePro 2460 low profile video cards each having 4 mini DPs running four 24 inch 1920x1200 monitors & thus 12 in total.
