Hi... so I have to PC's. One has a cheap GPU that only supports 2 or 3 monitor and the other has a GTX 660 that supports 4 monitors.
I need 6 monitors minimum on the one with the GTX660. So is it possible to get a second GTX660, SLI them and run 6-8? Or do I need to/should go a different route? They don't need to be in the surround mode.
The other PC, I need to run 4 screens on and I was thinking a card like this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168141951322 or something with the same capabilities for cheaper, if that exists?
Or I could take the GTX660 and stick it in there and use that firepro for the 2 4K 40''s I mention below.
Basically on the main rig, I've come up with these two options:
6 23.6'' Acer screens = $690
Monitor Arms = $110
extra GPU = $150?
Total: $950
VS
2 40'' 4k's = $1150
Money is fairly tight but the 4k's would be useful in some other area's... it probably depends on what you guys think the complexities of running 6-8 monitors on that PC will be... if a second GTX660 will be ok, ect?
Do you guys have any concerns about the 4K 40''? I've watched the tek syndicate videos on the 42'' ones and they seem to be great. IDK if they have changed at all though with the size difference.
Heres the review of the 42'' version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPXdOpaNUtg
Heres the 40'' version I'm looking at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/WASABI-MANGO-UHD400-REAL-4K-HDMI-2-0-40-PVA-Panel-UHD-3840x2160-HDMI-DP-Monitor-/111912465075?hash=item1a0e80b2b3
Any help would be great!
Thanks
