-So i found a craigslist ad that is has a liquid cooled computer. He says he got it as part of an auction and says he doesn't know much about computers. I texted him to see if he knows anything more about the computer but he hasn't responded.
- I was wondering if any of you, know of a gpu with 4 display ports and 2 dual link dvi-d. I've looked everywhere and haven't found anything so far. I'm assuming they are previous generation gpus since they are in a 3-way configuration but maybe not.
-I'm assuming the computer is worth the risk
heres a link to the craigslist ad

They're not workstation cards, none of them have io configs like that. A quick search on pcpp came up with all asus cards but like I thought, it's all amd cards. Many of them came with no hdmi because eyefinity needs dp. It's not a 6950 because the pcie cables. It has 2 8 pin so that narrows it down to 6970, 7970, or 280x.

So... This is odd. All the consumer gaming cards I have ever seen have at least 1 HDMI.

These are likely Workstation cards. Quadro and FirePro cards often have only Display port outputs and DVI is still common in the industry as well.
 
Could be this one:

yeah, that's the closest i've seen thus far though the two screws near the top of the card are not visible in the picture , and i think you would be able to see them at least partially.

It has a clear pic of the mobo manual so you know the model and it's x79. x99 came out 2014 so it's a bit old. That still puts it in the time frame for those 3 gens of amd gpus. It's not worth $1250 imo. The issues with tri fire and for that price, you'd get better performance from something else. You're paying a lot extra for wc which is not needed.
