Hello All,
I have an issue regarding getting 4 independent monitors working on a system. You will have to excuse my lack of understanding during this post, i do not regularly do computer builds and have never had the need to use this many monitors.
So I need 4 monitors to run Independently. Not merged. I went the whole ATI route first 2 x DVI, 1 x HDMI and 1 x DP. after coming to terms with the whole 3 monitors only deal i looked for another alternative. Sapphire HD 7850 OC Edition 2GB Dual DVI HDMI DisplayPort
This computer is not a gaming system, nor will it be ever used for gaming. It will be used for multi-tasking (browsing, spread sheets, applications, etc.) I then went for KFA2 MDT X4 GT 610 1GB DDR3 Dual DMS59 to 4 x DVI this worked....kind of. It displayed 2 merged monitors over the 4 (1x2). This is still not what is required.
My question is: What's the best way of getting round this? from what I gather i have the following option:
Graphics card with 2 x DVI and 2 x DP with 2 ACTIVE converters for the DVI to DP...something like XFX HD 7870 DD Edition 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Dual Mini DisplayPort
Dual 2 x DVI cards
or
Nvidia card which apparently doesn't have the same restrictions as the ATI cards after the 600 series. Apparently something like this Zotac GTX 650 Ti 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI Dual HDMI has been recommended.
Any help anyone can give on this would be VERY much appreciated. Obviously from the card selections there is a budget in play. £140-£150 is about it. At this stage, i'm thinking the two card option is the way to go...Anyone out there running the 4 non-gaming monitors?
Cheers All.
