4 VGA/DVI displays on one HD6970, possible?

[MoobyTheGoldenCalf]

With the appropriate adapters, can you hook up 4 VGA/DVI monitors to one HD6970? I've got 3 old Dell 2405 monitors that I'd want to use in an triple monitor 5760x1200 eyefinity setup and a HDTV I currently also have hooked up via VGA.

Also, when you configure & setup eyefinity, does that only kick in during games? So when I'm in normal Windows would I still have 3 discrete displays @ 1920x1200 + the HDTV?

I'm planning a new build and haven't really looked at hardware at all in the past few years, so I need to catch up on all this 😉

Thanks!

Yes,

and You can use hotkeys to switch between different display groups. So you can have whatever setup you want on the desktop.

yes you can, but you need active dp,

btw are you planing to game with 4 monitor?

 

[MoobyTheGoldenCalf]

No, I'm only going to game with the 3 24" ones. The other display is a HDTV in another room that I use Windows Media Center on occasionally.

Right now, I've got a GTX 260 and a 8800GT running the 4 displays.

you will need 2 ACTIVE mini display port adapters.

My setup is almost identical to yours. 3 monitors plus a projector on a 6970
