    I have decided to go with Scataphagos and buy 2 of these from amazon

    NVIDIA NVS 300 by PNY 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express Gen 2 x16 DMS-59 to Dual DVI-I SL or VGA Profesional Business Graphics Board, VCNVX300X16-PB

    http://www.amazon.com/PNY-Profesion...ional+Business+Graphics+Board,+VCNVX300X16-PB

    How to connect my monitors? Currently my 3 monitors only has HDMI and the other one has DVI.

    The connector on this card is DMS-59. So I tried to look up for some kind of adapter DMS-59 to HDMI cable but am unable to find it. Is there such an adapter? i.e. DMS-59 to HDMI?

    If not, how to connect?

    Same resolution, not sure if it cares what make they are, but only in pairs of two. So two monitors can be a different resolution than the other two.

  8. Should work okay. That's a DMS-59 to 2 HDMI connector.

    In general: monitor resolutions don't matter. You can have a mix of varieties of monitor resolutions. The Windows Management software will let you specify what resolution you want on each monitor, and how you line them up or stack them.

    Not on the FirePro 2460 though. They have to be pairs of two on that card apparently. Or so say the specifications. They even say same make and model monitor, though I don't now if that really matters.

    This is what the ati pdf says:

    Bottom left side if first page:

    An amazon reviewer said an active displayport adapter fixes this, though that would have to be checked.

  10. Sorry Dart, my comments were out of context. I was thinking only in general terms, wasn't thinking of with reference to that specific card. Since the manufacturer has such a specification, sure would go with them. Not sure why that is though.
