+--- Thread: Using 3/4 monitors on one system. (/showthread.php?tid=466)
Using 3/4 monitors on one system. - Mark - 23-10-2010
If you've seen my mod you'll know that I'm after running at least 3, preferably 4 monitors. (At least the ability to, in the future).
My current set up:
MSI Neo-F P43 board. (Only one PCI-E slot, two PCI slots)
8800GTX
3x 22" monitors.
At the moment with just the one card I can only run two monitors and I need to be using at least 3, if not 4.
I was wondering what you guys thought. I can either get a PCI card or a new motherboard and then another PCI-E card.
The new card has to be able to have 2x 22"s hooked up to it, (Monitors are 1920x1080 each, totalling 3840 x 2160).
As cheap as possible, so a £1,000 super card is out of the equation. (sharn >.<)

I told you, you only need a POS PCI card.
In honesty I'd recommend a new motherboard because PCI-E graphics is easier to get hold of than PCI graphics (on enthusiast forums at least, where you know people have kept their cards properly maintained)

I've just purchased a Asus P5Q Deluxe, Intel P45, Motherboard. Set me back £90 but it has 3 PCI-E ports.

My hardware is old. I use an AGP Geforce 6800 to run the two middle monitors and a PCI ATI something or other to run the two side ones.
