| Post subject: | Need 6 monitor gaming graphics card(s) |
Budget aside for the moment...do you have recommendations ? I have a ASUS P9X79 WS and have six DELL 1908FP-BLK Monitors which use a DVI-D connection. I am looking to get MUCH more powerful graphics cards. I currently have NVIDIA Quadro NVS 420 (runs 4 monitors) and a Quadro NVS 290 (which runs 2). I would like to upgrade the graphics cards so I can work on game programming with Unity and UnReal engines. I am willing to use two cards that run 3 each, if needed as long as they work together. I am HOPING NOT to have to upgrade these old monitors (for now) I am running Windows 7 pro about to switch to 10. I need a modern and powerful chipset... Thanks in advance.. |

What is your Setup? All Monitors Extended or do you have an surround/Eyefinity 3x1 Setup? DVI-D is not a Problem as it's working kinda well with DP->DVI active Adapters. |

I only have older Quadro cards now so no eyefinity... I have six dell monitors stacked 3 wide by 2 high. I figured I would need active DisplayPort-to-DVI adapters Just trying to figure which card(s) to buy? I was thinking 2 ASUS cards since they seem good and match my MB.. but I am open.. to best option. Any suggestions? |

Sadly I don't know much about game development, nor Quadro or FirePro GPU's. Do you prefer AMD or Nvidia? And are you looking for a professional card again or more like a gaming card? |

Cards that Support Eyefinity 6 (5 as well) If you want a modern card, get an 290x and use an MST Hub, and run the other 3 off dvi, dvi, hdmi->dvi. Also note, the monitors with have to be in 3x2 if you want all the monitors to be stiched together in eyefinity mode (which is fine it seems since I just read your full post). You will be able to play at 3840x2048, but that will put a horizontal bezel right in the middle of your screen. You may want to break it up into 3840x1024 sections. |
