I am at a blank. What video card supports six monitors ? Is it an ati radeon or something ? I will look into it
Looks like I could add one of these to run four monitors http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814129172 That's another $200... And would I be correct that the addition of the above card, plus the card already in the rig to max out at six monitors?
I did not look at it yet but I will. Look at the power supply needed. May not be enough and the video card compatability. Here is the ATI Radeon⢠HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition Graphics - six monitor card specs You will notice the ps has to be accounted for along with the MB http://www.amd.com/us/products/desk...870-eyefinity-6-edition/Pages/overview.aspx#3
Here's one. I'm sure it's $300-400 http://www.pcworld.com/article/1924...can_run_six_1080p_monitors_simutaneously.html
LOL!!!!!!!!! I just posted something similar. And yes, I think the power supply with the $700 i5 setup I posted won't handle it.
I understand it's only a solution for gamers. For many of them physical screen space (in square inches) is subjectively similar to having the smae space with higher resolution. On "cheap" 27-30 inch monitors you get the same number of pixels as on a typical 23-inch "full HD" monitor. (Basically, they are converted TVs.) If you want more pixels all the prices I have seen are over 3x price of a cheap 23-inch "full HD" monitor.
I don't think so. The B708 Desktop Computer specs said it has 1 PCIe X16 slot total, but 0 available. Which means this box maker is already using the PCIe X16 slot for something. I am not sure what. The Intel BDH67BL H67-Express Motherboard seems to have one DVI video outlet on the motherboard. But as soon as you put a video card on the PCIe X16 slot, most likely this onboard DVI video will be disabled. The fact is you only have one PCIe X16 slot. If you buy a quad card, you can drive 4 monitors. If you buy an Eyefinity-6 card (a quad card), you can drive 6 monitors. But I understand you want to drive 8 monitors. So you need a Octo card of some sort. (I am not sure if it exists.)
Agreed completely! I went to newegg after reviewing the clip, and thought "how does a person save money buying three 30" monitors?" Too expensive and not necessary for what I need... I need to stick with the original plan.
Personally, I think a 24-inch monitor has maxed out the utility of a 1920x1080 resolution. I have more than a dozen of them. I already felt that the charts look kind of coarse for the space available. Any bigger size monitor (26, 28, 30) without providing a higher resolution is not cost effective.
