Hi!
I'm currently building a flight simulator in my college, as of now, we have 4 screens plugged into it and are waiting to receive our video projectors (2 of them). That means we have to plug 6 devices into our graphic card, which only has 5 ports. We therefore have the following options :
- Plug one of the screens into the motherboard's HDMI or DVI port, although we do not know which changes need to be conducted to do so.
-Install a second graphic card on the computer (different from the one already installed) and plug one screen on it.
We do not know which option is better though. Here are a few facts that might help :
The current graphic card in the simulator's computer is a GTX 1080Ti.
The additional graphic card we could install is a Radeon HD7970.
3 of the screens are display screens so I believe they have to be plugged on the same graphic card, same for the two video projectors. However, the fourth screen is a control screen from which we manage all the simulators' settings. I believe it would be easier to have this one plugged on the motherboard or on a different graphic card.
The computer has an Intel processor equipped with a graphic chipset.
We could also buy a second GTX 1080Ti but I believe they're harder to find now (we're in France if the matters) and it is not a very cheap option.
Do you have any idea of which solution would be better for solving this issue ?
Thanks a lot!
