Quad DVI Video Card

[leckley]

Hi Guys,

I am looking around for a video card that support 4 DVI ports. I only have one PCI-Express slot and wish to power up to 4 monitors.

I am aware of 4850X2, but they seem to be a little hard to find.

Any suggestions?

Depends on your price range, and what you want to do with the card.
You can get quite expensive workstation cards which will do 4xDVI.

If it's not for gaming.
But considering the GPU level, it's quite a lot of money.

The other, more affordable, option would be to look for a PCI card that will do 2xDVI.
It'd be cheaper and allow you to keep any existing PCIe card or get something more powerful as a main card while having a weak secondary just for the extra monitors.

Are you planning on gaming on all monitors?

You could just get a PCI video card

Or cut down a pci-e to one of your 1x slots.

I did try the PCI slot with Nvidia, but all sorts of driver issues. Apparently, you cant use two different video cards with Nvidia if they are not within the same series.

Is ATI different?

Windows 7 is different.
