I have been thinking if it is possible to use a multi monitor (3) setup (eyefinity, which I don't have at the moment) with a fourth monitor. The fourth monitor has to be a small 10 inch monitor for rDisplay, takatec etc... .

So, I have been wondering if it is possible to play surround and have a small monitor which shows, independently from the 3 monitors, the rDisplay or takatec.

Do I need a second video card to make this possible?

It depends on what multi-monitor solution you use. If you get an Eyefinity 6 card, you can do this quite easily off of one card. If you get a 5850 or regular 5870, you would need a second card to make this happen.

Thanks for the help.

Now I need to buy an Eyefinity 6 card. My motherboard has only one PCI-E slot. :cry:

does your motherboard have good old pci slots?
a pci card would probably suffice in displaying some 2d stuff on a 10"
there are also digital photoframes ranging from 7-10" which can be used as an usb display which expand your options

Yes it has PCI slots. What kind of pci card do you mean?

there are lots of pci graphics cards available, most of them would allow 2 additional displays

I used HIS Radeon HD 5830 ,sounds good

Is it possible to use a small ( 7 to 10 inch) USB monitor as a fourth monitor for displaying the Takatec or rDisplay in racegames while gaming on a multi monitor setup?

Can digital photoframes show moving graphics like the rDisplay or the TakaTec?
