    can I run 2 different gpus to power 6 monitors

    See this is exactly the issue I keep running into haha. James is saying you can do it with a MST just fine, but then Glenwing hooked it up via daisychain and couldn't get it to work. Do you maybe have to have everything hooked up via displayport to do it maybe? I'd really love to see a working...

    can I run 2 different gpus to power 6 monitors

    Good to hear, I ended up just getting the 1080 and a 1050, might be spending more than I needed to but from what I understood in reading other places this should be a fairly stable option. I've heard lots of different things about the display port connectors... I'd love to hear more info about...

    can I run 2 different gpus to power 6 monitors

    Basically need a computer to support 6 monitors. Will be doing some intensive cad/revit/3dsmax work, but for the most part 2 of the monitors won't be doing anything too intensive just excel, and an online security camera feed. Trying to save some cash, I know I can run up to 6 monitors with 2...

    (SOLVED) Can not get system to install win 7 pro (freezes at same place)

    I've spent the better part of the last 2-3 days trying to figure this problem out. I finally figured it out... and here's the answer. http://www.asrock.com/microsite/Win7Install/ Apparently with the new z170 boards they will not recognize any usb ports if windows 7 is trying to load. Windows 8...

    Computer Build for Chief Architect and Revit

    Are you going to be doing lots of 3d renderings with revit? I don't know a lot about CA, but with revit you can honestly get by with a really cheap GPU, Revit doesn't use the GPU for really anything at all, it is all about individual thread performance. If you are planning on running revit...

    (SOLVED) Can not get system to install win 7 pro (freezes at same place)

    And just an update, I tried the whole USB's on the front I/O instead of using the usbs on the back of the computer, and still no dice. It IS actually freezing right there. I've tried 2 different keyboards and finished swapping out sticks of memory and only found the one bad stick.

    (SOLVED) Can not get system to install win 7 pro (freezes at same place)

    Alright, this is a brand new build and I went to install win 7 with my OEM win 7 pro 64 bit disk, so I set the bios to boot to dvd rom, inserted the disk, and saved changes and exited. Computer restarts, and goes into the black "loading windows files" screen and it goes through it just fine...

    5 screen setup with different GPUs?

    Alright, Teach me almighty display gurus. I have looked at past questions and didn't see any that were using a setup like this, so figured I'd start a new question I'm in the process of building a computer for a design center that we are building. The computer is going to be running heavy...

    Concerned about cooling

    So we are getting ready to move into a new office (we are a growing cabinet shop/home design center) and we are going to be building a couple of new computers, I already have most of the specs decided on. And unfortunately they will be fairly warm systems. To compound the problem, my boss is...

    Trying to decide if I should get this as a workstation computer and how it compares to current setup

    I'm really most interested in how the two computers compare with each other. If they will be close to each other or if the second one will be a better overall system for what we are doing we will go ahead and grab it

    Building my first computer

    What is your budget? I mean people can suggest you build 1000 different builds without a little more info on what you want it to do. You say 0 gaming? So what do you do? watch videos online? facebook? e-mail? microsoft office? any programs that aren't gaming that you use? gotta give us a...
