I'm building a PC for primarily day-trading and some gaming (far cry, AC3, etc). I need to run from 4 to 6 monitors in an array. What kind of video card would be suitable. Also, I prefer the noise kept to a minimum when trading. Would a GTX 750 card be suitable here or do I need something professionally suited to trading?

Thanks

they are just flat images aren't they? the eyefinity was first generation of the modern cards so a HD6850 eyefinity card is a possible. GT's are not high level they are the base nvidia cardsm gtx's are the higher level nvidia cards. I don't see why a day trading solution should need gpu power enough to show windows but why need more?

the eyefinity cards in particular are built for more than 3 displays, 6 in fact, which needs more clock generators in the video out section...

Is the eyefinity good enough to support a modern trading solution? I see many trading computer vendors using modern powerful graphic cards like the GT/GTX,, etc with a lot of memory on board.

the eyefinity cards in particular are built for more than 3 displays, 6 in fact, which needs more clock generators in the video out section than is normally available, hence why most cards can do 2 at a time from a selection of 3 outputs (unless you use an active adaptor).

they never did any comparable, so you'd be looking at several cards, i'd be tempted to try 2x gt610 and a gaming card or similar and see what happens, if it doesn't work then you've lost very little as they are really cheap. Personally I run a GT220 and a GTX580 at the same time for different screens and have no issues at all.

The EyeInfinity Cards have a maximum resoultion of 2560X1600. Which means that for a 2X2 monitor array, each monitor would run at 1280X800. If your monitors are 20" or greater, you'd certainly want them to run at least at 1980X1080, as text at 1280X800 would be too grainy to read on 20"+ monitors.
