Cheapest Triple Monitor SFF Video Card

[Piano Man]

Good Day.

I'm currently in need of a PCIe Small Form Factor video card that supports 3 monitors and doesn't use a lot of power.

The reason for Small Form Factor is because this is going into a Lenovo M58 SFF workstation that I use as an admin box.

Because I am using CentOS 5.7 x86_64 as my OS, I prefer nV over AMD as I am having a hell of an issue with getting CCC to run, and the OS UI Driver Settings doesn't even have a triple monitor setup option.

Also, if all 3 ports can be digital, that would be even better, however, don't sweat it if you can't find it.

Even better would be for 2-3 of them to support 2560x1600 as I may end up getting a couple 30 inchers at some point for NOC monitoring.


Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

5750/6750/6770 may be what your looking for. The arn't cheap but the drivers are mature which may help you with the problems you have been having. As far as i know they are the most powerful low profile cards possible.



6750 low profile, although it doesn't have digital. I think its a two slot video card but should work fine if you have the space.

The only thing i don't know is if you PSU is strong enough as http://shop.lenovo.com/ISS_Static/me...A_3_oct_23.pdf there are a ton of options here. My guess is if you have the 430 watt one you should be fine.

Any nV offerings. I'm still not able to get CCC running with CentOS 5.7, and unfortunately, I can't change up my OS.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that Nvidia doesn't make cards that drive >2 displays at once.

possible exceptions:
a) dual gpu cards
b) professional cards

Arghh, that would suck.
