    Question Electrical interference blacks out the monitor. Does it damage circuits?

    Flatscreen / LCD. CRT monitors only bring back memories these days. The unexpected behavior is that the monitor goes completely black for a few seconds.

    [SOLVED] 8 monitor setup requirements please solve my problem !

    Have you looked into Maltrox's range of GPUs? As far as I'm aware those support the most dedicated outputs. I actually asked this question on Reddit recently as I'm looking to upgrade to a six monitor array myself. What I was told (paraphrasing) is that the type of arrays you're looking to...

    Question Electrical interference blacks out the monitor. Does it damage circuits?

    I have a three monitor array hooked up to a UPS. I also have electric blinds in my home office. Whenever I move the blinds up/down when my computer is in operation, one of the monitors goes black momentarily. It is always the same monitor and the one that is closest to the blinds — although...

    [SOLVED] Intermittent croaking sound coming from front of computer

    Thanks for the input. I was thinking that too. It could be a coincidence or it could be a red herring. I think best to take into the shop. To learn all this stuff I need a cheap build that I can afford to screw around with .... right now this thing is my main business asset!

    [SOLVED] Intermittent croaking sound coming from front of computer

    I actually got a local PC shop to install it as I haven't done a GPU install before and I have a lot of work on my plate a the moment ..... so didn't want to risk "downtime" by breaking something. I think I might ask them to take a look at it as presumably they know whatever they did.

    [SOLVED] Intermittent croaking sound coming from front of computer

    This guy: https://www.gigabyte.com/il/Graphics-Card/GV-N105TWF2OC-4GD#kf However: I did check the spec sheet carefully before I bought. It's GPU requirement is listed as 300W and mine is 450W ..... but maybe it's under "strain" regardless.

    [SOLVED] Intermittent croaking sound coming from front of computer

    Hi folks, I recently upgraded my GPU (about a month ago). I don't believe the sound began exactly then, but it has certainly started in the interim period. Basically, every few minutes there's a sound that sounds (vaguely) like a frog croaking — which must be a common issue because it is...

    Question Looking for GPU with six or more outputs

    I was thinking about splitting the connection through an MST hub, actually. But yeah, it makes sense to ask directly. Thanks for the tip!

    Question Looking for GPU with six or more outputs

    I'm looking at this GPU from PNY: https://www.pny.com/nvidia-quadro-p620 I'm looking (ideally) for a single GPU that will support a six monitor setup as otherwise (dual GPU) I need a new motherboard so it's going to be an awful lot of work. The board listed has four mini-DP outputs (1.4). So...

    Question Looking for GPU with six or more outputs

    I saw that, actually, but I thought that "multi-view" was referring to something else entirely: https://superuser.com/questions/359960/in-video-card-specs-does-maximum-resolution-mean-the-resolution-for-each-moni In any event, I picked up this DP --> HDMI x 1, DP x 2 MST Hub. I'm hopeful that...

    Question Looking for GPU with six or more outputs

    Oh, man - this is news to me. Where does one find out what the max displays are and whether that differs from the number of outputs? An any chance you know how many outputs this card can drive - Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 Ti Windforce OC?

    Question Looking for GPU with six or more outputs

    Hi folks, As I posted here yesterday, I'm currently scoping out graphics cards for an upcoming six monitor workstation. My observations so far are: — There are very few cards on the market which have six or more unique outputs. They exist (NVS 810, Radeon RX 5700 XT Taichi X 8G OC+) but...

    Question Looking for GPU with six or more outputs

    Budget: Let's not make that a consideration. Monitor inputs: Anything digital. HDMI or DP would both be fine. Use-case / workflow: "I use my PC for office work — so I don't have any gamer-specific requirements."

    Question Looking for GPU with six or more outputs

    Hi! I'm looking for a GPU with six or more discrete outputs (ie, not one output that is a DP output that can be daisy-chained). I use my PC for office work — so I don't have any gamer-specific requirements. I've found two options so far but would be interested in knowing what else is on the...
