4 display trading computer help

Mel Miller · Sep 10, 2014

i have a trading computer with a i7-2600 processor currently I have a ATI Radon HD-5670 graphics card. I would like to upgrade to 4 displays. How is the best way to do this? I use this computer for trading.

That cpu has integrated graphics right?

If so then you can save a ton of money on a gpu.

Here would be the cheapest way to get 4 displays without spending a ton on a high performance GPU:

Get either a GT 730 or 740 (whichever you can afford) and plug two of the monitors into the igpu (i7 2600) and the last two into the GT 730 or 740.

The HD-5670 can drive 3 displays if the card has 3 outputs. As for the 4th you could try the onboard video if the mother board has a video out. Or, and i have used this method myself to add an extra display, is to get a USB display adapter. It works fine for web surfing, Videos were just OK and the mouse lagged a bit but this was on an old laptop. This is what I have

make sure you have all the correct cables to hook all four up with. I see no need to buy a new graphics card unless you want to. I usually go for the cheapest solution.

motherboard - ASUS SABERTOOTH P67 no onboard video. Yes I can do 3 outputs on the card I have so one option is to add a 4th. My understanding is any addition graphic cards have to be compatible. I have 3 options
1. Get an addition card to support one display and drive the other 3 from existing card
2. Get 2 new cards and drive 2 each
3. Get a card that supports 4

I would like to get the same card that I have in it now but I can't seem to find one. That gives me the option of 6 displays in the future.
