A card that comes in PCI only can't compete with graphic cards today. Specs aren't really specified, but I'm sure there are better gaming cards out there...GeforceFx and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro for example...

But can you hook a 9800 pro up to 8 monitors?

You can't judge a graphic card's performance by the number of monitors you can hook up to it!!

Yeah, but imagine 8 monitors surrounding you!

Do any games support more than one monitor?

Yes, but how would your 2 eyes handle 8 monitors??

The PCI version is way to slow and I don't know which GPU they use. Besides there is no game you can play at 8 monitors.

My dual-PSU PC is so powerfull that the neighbourhood dims when I turn it on :eek:

if I remember correctly, multi-monitor support comes from the OS or DirectX not the actual game.
But don't take my word on that.

More monitors = More performance.

Well, it does say it's compatable with PCI 66MHz slots.... Plus, I believe the point of the card is to be able to support multiple monitors from one signal, while maintaning high quality. So, the only thing I can think of is some kind of gaming kisok or something.
