Hi
I need to get a 4 port Graphics card in my Dell XPS 420 to drive 4 monitors.
I currently power 3 monitors using a MSI Radeon 5770 Hawk that powers 3 x 23" IPS in an eyefinity (5760x1024 res).
I use this in Flight Sim X for a 'out of the cockpit window view' that stretches across all 3 screens.
I want a 4th screen (19" widescreen) that I use to show instrument dials from within the cockpit.
I've tried to put another card in the machine but I don't have any more PCI-e x16 slots free. I tried old PCI cards but the drivers don't work with Windows 7x64.
I have been given a suggestion of a ASUS GeForce GTX 750Ti due to the low power and the 4 ports it has.
Can anyone help confirm if the following card will fit and (fingers crossed) work:-
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ICUGOP0/?tag=pcp0f-21
or
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-NVIDIA-750Ti-PCI-E-Gra...
Thanks in advance.

From what I can tell you need a better, atleast 400W PSU with a 6-pin power connector. That site is for the reference 750 ti and should be pretty accurate since the rest of the 750ti are based on it. I could that the Gigabyte one supports 4 monitors for sure though http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=...
