Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a solution for having extended view on 3 monitors. I have searched all over the web and eventually I'm a little lost
To begin with, I have a Dell T1600 workstation that comes with Nvidia Quadro 600 GPU. As far as I know, I need to add another GPU for 3 monitors. My monitors will have VGA, DVI and HDMI connections.
If it is possible, I don't want to add DP-DVI/HDMI adapter. As Quadro 600 has one DVI and one DP connection, it will be connected to one monitor via DVI. The second GPU will be connected to other 2 monitors via VGA/DVI/HDMI.
Since ATI cards need DP connection for Eyefinity, I am not considering them as a solution. But if this is also an unavoidable issue for Nvidia cards, I would prefer a ATI card (like R5670). I don't need high performance cards as I won't play game or render graphics. Can anyone suggest a cheap proper GPU?
To make it organized:
BUDGET RANGE: Up to $200
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: It will be used for general office tasks.
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: Nvidia Quadro 600 and 320W Power Factor Correcting (PFC) power supply.
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: Intel® Xeon® E3-1225, 8GB RAM
OVERCLOCKING: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: There will be one 22" monitor and two full hd televisions. All of them are 1920*1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: As I mentioned, I don't want to add a DP-DVI/HDMI adapter. If it is possible all the connections should be DVI or HDMI. If I have to use a DP connection I will take out Quadro 600 and buy an ATI (or AMD, whatever) GPU. OS will be Windows 7 32 bit.
Thank you all
