So I've been using four monitors for many years now, and it's great because I get the space I need to work.
I just got a hand-me-down card from my brother, and I'd like to use it since it's more powerful than my current card. But this new card only has three display adapters on it, thus I would lose a monitor if I used this card.
Is there a way I get just get an extra port for a fourth monitor?
Like is there a cheap card I could buy that just gives me more ports? Or is there a way I can set up my system to use both cards, even though they aren't both set up for SLI? To the latter, I don't think my PSU can support running both cards at full capacity, so I'm really just interested in a way to use it in some sort of dummy mode for minimal power draw.
I do not have any on-board video on my mobo.
