| Post subject: | Extended displays require active adapters? |
I am planning on running two VisionTek 7750 Eye 6 2GB DDR5 PCI Express Graphics Cards in my PC to support 10 monitors in an extended desktop mode (for a stock trading station). These cards have 6 mini displayport connectors on them. I am thinking about buying a 1920x1080 monitor that has DVI-D and VGA input. Its pretty inexpensive. Dell Computer E-Series E2414Hr 24-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor Can I run DVI-D monitors in an extended desktop mode with this card? Will I need active adapters or will the cheap passive ones work? I don't plan using the Eyefinity features.. just a large extended desktop across all 10 monitors. Thanks, Mike |

Theoretically running 2 Eye 6 cards would say you can use up to 12 monitors, But as I have never tried more than 3 I can't confirm that. But if not using Eyefinity at al,l you will be able to get away with Passive adapters no problem, for extended. |

One eyefinity6 card can operate 2x dvi/vga monitors with passive adapters - for rest of them (4) you need active adapters IF you want make extended desktop (one big surface/big resolution) is only possible for max 6 monitors (one card) if you want use two cards it will be possible as well but then you need to use software (ultramon or sth like that) *extended desktop for 8 OR 12 monitors (one e6 card + 4 or 6 dp @ dual hdmi adapter) then you can do 4x2 or 6x2 config |
