[Phil231]

Hello.. I want to create a control room by myself for work purposes (not for gaming or whatever).. the thing is that I don't know much things about computers so I would really appreciate if someone helped me..
I want to connect 9 monitors to 1 pc (if it is possible, if it isn't possible then I can get 2 pcs).. I have already get the 9 monitors as well as the monitor mount stand holder but I have no idea what to get next.. HDMI splitters? graphic cards? what pc or pcs should I get? Can someone help me?

agn buy 3 1060s

just be sure when you are buying it, make sure it either has 3 hdmi ports or 3 displayports. There seem to be some different versions.

ooh also btw the ssd is your boot drive, so where your system boots basically, so it will be fast. I chose a hdd, but if you want faster storage, you can buy a sata ssd or even another nvme ssd like I chose for the boot drive.

ah, and make sure you buy your hdmi/dp cables 😉

that build should do it for cheap I'd recommend recommend using AMD Ryzen/Threadripper for that

One question what's the 3 1060s you mentioned? I'm a little bit confused🙁

Well within your budget and should handle everything you need it to do. The graphic cards each have two DisplayPorts, two HDMI, and one DVI-D. Per the Sapphire Nitro+ RX-580 Specifications Page each card supports up to five displays and you would need four DisplayPort to HDMI cables/adapters. I am concerned about the power supply. The typical RX-580 only has a single 8-pin PCIE power port and ~185 watts power requirement. The Sapphire Nitro+ RX-580s include an extra 6-pin PCIE power which suggests a power draw between 226 and 300 watts. IMO, 850 watts might be a little thin, but finding quality at a higher wattage is a bit difficult using just AmazonUK. Additionally, you would not use them in a Crossfire configuration.

the mbd has 3 16x lanes so it should be fine

 

[Phil231]

Hi! Is it this one AMD CPU Threadripper 3960X (sTR4/3.8 GHz/128 ΜΒ)?

 

[AlexTheFern]

there are lots of different models of and threadrippers

24 cores should do nicely

Assuming no 3D acceleration is needed for this setup. A couple of these plus the onboard video out would probably be the cheapest and easiest route:

I'd be somewhat nervous about buying something that old due to driver support approaching EOL. Maybe someone will launch a GT1010/1020 equivalent. Alternately, a DP model could be combined with a DP1.4 MST hub and feed up to four total monitors that way.

 

[Phil231]

Do you guys suggest me to get the Intel Core i9-10900K 3.7 GHz 10-Core Processor or the AMD CPU Threadripper 24-core for the needs I want it? I really don't care about the prices I just want to make it as good as possible

 

[AlexTheFern]

since you wont be doing much gaming, I would go with the threadripper. There are a few different models though

 

[AlexTheFern]

lots of cores will benefit you a lot with your multitasking
