I have 3, 23" HD monitors, but I don't play games all that much.
I would like to add anywhere from 3-9 cheaper monitors than what I have now, maybe like 22" AOC monitors for $100 each, but 1920x1080 capable.
Purpose is for monitoring stock markets.
My system specs is as follows:
-i2600k 4.5 ghz
-vertex3 ssd
-Radeon HD 5850 1GB
-650w XFX PSU
Question: What would be the most cost-effective way to go about this? My friend told me that it wasn't as simple as adding a second identical card for 3 more monitors, and that I need to buy a new $500-1000 graphics card
Question2: If I decide to stop at 6 monitors, would I be able to run two radeon 5850's separately, with a shared desktop? Someone told me I would run into issues with this but I didn't bother to ask what they meant.
