OK. I'm currently running a 6 monitor setup with a hodge podge of parts, but the performance is struggling. I know I'm pushing a lot of pixels even if I don't need gaming performance.
PC: HP Z400 workstation, quad core, 3.5 ghz or so I think.
16gb DDR3 10600 ram
MB has (2) PCIE x16 slots
I have 2 nvidia cards - one 9600 GT and one GT 520.
Each are pushing (2)older 20" LCD screens at 1600x1200. Double DVI out on the cards to DVI on each screen.
I have 2 of the EVGA UV39+ USB rigs pushing a 17" monitor each at 12XX x something. DVI on the EVGA to VGA on the screens.
I know my cards are older, dated cards. So are my monitors. I'm not real sure how well the UV39's really perform. Work is not paying for any of this so I'm trying to keep it budget friendly.
What I would like to find is a 2 card setup that ideally would support 3 monitors each. This is not for gaming but my work machine. Spreadsheets, Email, PDFs, folders, etc. Just lots of them.
I'm having a hard time finding info on cards based on their output and how many monitors they will support. I'm totally OK with older equipment.
Any direction?
