[SOLVED] cheapest solution to get 6 monitors to my ASrock X570 Phantom Gaming 4

[moneymm]

ASrock X570 Phantom Gaming 4 mohterboard..

none of my old video cards are reading, and apparently the onboard video options dont work b/c i am using a amd ryzen 5 3600 processor.

the board has 2 PCIe 4.0 x16, 2 PCIe 4.0 x1

i have a AMD radeon r7 200 series, but only seems to work with 2 monitors at a time.

i have 3 vga monitors and 3 hdmi monitors, although eventually i will be turning all 6 into HDMI im sure. so im fine with using some adapters for now or something just to get the 6 displays on.

what is the cheapest video card options cards out there that will fit what i need.

This might be an old card but if you use miniDP adapters it will run 6 monitors by itself. Otherwise you would have to do something like DisplayLink https://www.displaylink.com/products/usb-adapters for USB to monitors on everything other than your primary (otherwise you won't see the BIOS post) or run Crossfire/SLI.

thanks, maybe ill find a cheaper one like that for 4 monitors considering i already have 2 up on one video card and have the other open video card slot.

is there anyway to get the onboard video working with my processor or no?

That GPU will be able to drive 4 displays so you would still need something for your other two.

i figured i would use my current AMD radeon r7 240 for 2 of them (which i am now) and in the other slot put the new https://www.newegg.com/msi-radeon-rx-570-rx-570-armor-mk2-8g-oc/p/N82E16814137291 for 4 other monitors, would that work ?

I believe it will work. I would make the RX 570 the primary GPU though.

Ryzen 5 3600 does NOT have an integrated GPU. I used Intel iGPU (1)+GPU (2) to run 3 monitors, so it does work in practice if you ever need it.
