Need another video card to support 6 monitors

pilot_nate · Sep 22, 2014

Hey all, I have a gtx 760 2GB video card, connected to 3 monitors right now. I am wanting to double my monitor output to 6. I've done some research an I am going to need 2 video cards to handle it. I do absolutely NO gaming. Mostly will be for running multiple applications and number crunching stuff. What would be the best video card to do this?

just get another 760, since you said you need 2 cards, you can't sli two different cards so another 760 will do

Try to get the cheapest card that supports 3 monitors and uses the same driver as the 760. Like a GT 740

In SLI it would only support 4 monitors. SLI is not needed to just run a 2nd card for more monitors.

How do I know what driver the video card has? So I can compare the 2.

Page 41 of the driver release notes has the list of cards the driver supports.

Look like the 730/720 also supports 3 monitors and is cheaper than the 740. Any reason you went with the 740?

Be careful with the gt 720 and 730 not all of them support 3 monitors.

Here is a $50 evga 720 that supports 3.

When i was looking earlier I seemed to have ran into the the 720s and 730s that only supported 2.

Got it. The 720 is 3 monitors according to the website, any reason the 740 over that one?

pilot_nate · Sep 22, 2014

Nice thanks! I think I'll get one with a fan attached, not to keen on the passive cooling stuff

pilot_nate · Sep 22, 2014

Is my 600W PS going to be enough for the edition of the 720?

Probably the 720 uses very little power.
