Hello,

I am looking for a GeForce4Ti graphic board with three XGA (1024x768) ouputs.
Does it exist?
Do someone know about some sort of video splitter to do this function?

The solution should be cheaper than buying three PC with three GeForce4Ti.
In that case, I have the software synchronisation between PC.
Le magnifique.

Technologically impossible. It is not built into the core. Plus, the card only has two RAMDACs. That means it can only handle two outputs.

But I'm sure some duct tape will fix that up.... :p

If you want an end result of three screens, with either two or all of them sharing the same content, the cheapest solution would be to get a dual output card, like the ATI Radeon 8500, Nvidia Geforce4Ti series, or Matrox G550. If you want three independent screens which can each display different data connected to one computer, you'll need to wait about a week for the Matrox Parhelia to come out - it supports that feature. (btw, yes I know there are other cards that have three or four independent outputs, like the Matrox G200 series, but their performance leaves quite a bit to be desired these days).

Edit: I forgot to say, if you get a dual output card, to mirror the output over multiple screens, you'll need a video splitter box of some sort. Be sure to get an amplified one that boosts the signal. I've had experience with the passive "cable splitter" types, and they just suck.
