I have been using 12 Monitors ( 24 inch, 1920x1200 ) for last 10 years with Win-7 & cheep AMD 512Mb cards without a hitch. So the problem could be Win-11 OR Video cards or something else.

I am using Dell 24 inch ( 1920x1200 ) which I bought 10 years ago & still going. But that is Win-10. Win -11 is just PIA. With 125% you can barely read any text 4 feet away.

Such a nice guy Scat. Thank you. I was fixed on trying 3660. This is just the beginning. I have not installed the Market apps yet. While installing there was a microphone issue & Dell support spent 2.5 Hrs on Monday & 3 Hours on Wednesday troubleshooting the issue online but couldn't fix it. I...

Yes I did & I have mentioned it in my post. I tried several combination of Text size & Scale together but nothing helps.

Hi, Just bought a new Dell 3660 workstation with Following specs: Intel i-7 12700 CPU Windows-11 Pro. Two NVIDIA T-600 Cards each with 4miniDP ports to run 8 Monitors ( 24 inch each 1920x1200 resolution) 16GB DDR5 Three 512GB NVME Three 4TB Sata 5400 RPM. Since there are Large 8 Monitors, I...

Scat, As I work on this system, you are right. This is not as good as 5820 although I haven't worked on 5820 but I know T7500. To start with one of the display on one monitor looks really large. Whether is a webpage or file explorer page. If I bring that web page to other monitors, it looks...

Scat & All, Finally tech guy came from Dell ( Not really as he said Dell outsourced to another tech company & that company outsourced to another & finally the guy I got had never seen a system with more than two monitors so I ended up doing most of the work. ) He first opened the box & system...

You mean all the things that they said their engineer will do ? Then yes, they charged me for it & I did insist on them setting it up so that they couldn't blame me if things don't work as you laid out above. If it doesn't work as you laid out, I will have a case for full refund. I am also going...

Looks like they changed the policy. Only 15 day trial & 15% restocking fee if you return for a refund. But if those 2 video cards don't run 8 monitors I think they might give full credit towards purchase of 5820 that is just the guess. I think I did not make it clear. I was asking you what...

Scat you will be the first one to know. I am as curious as you are hoping for the best but ready for the worst. It will cost me 15% if I want to return & go back to 5820. It is dispatched & estimated day of delivery they gave me is tomorrow Saturday, July 2nd. What an irony on 4th of July...

Scat & all, You guys have been very helpful & I sincerely appreciate it. I finally ordered Dell workstation 3660. It was within my price range with latest ports & CPU. Scat you just might be right but I couldn't resist Dell claiming it a workstation & letting me to choose two GPUs. Here is what...

You probably will hate me by now but I want to make sure that I am making the right decision. So I found something that I am attaching which looks like chipset W680 has independent 28 PCI express lane. I also have a choice of i9 12900 which has max 48 PCIe lanes. So if I chose that then would...

Just read up an article on the PCIe lanes & it says Chipset lanes are independent of CPU lanes. So 20 CPU lanes will be occupied by two T600 ( x16 & x4 ). That leaves 28 chipset lanes for other stuff. When I configure 3660 it also gives me 3 M.2 NVMe. Please explain how this works. Thanks

Scat, How about the chipset lanes. Dell 3660 has W680 Chipset & according to Intel it has maximum of 28 PCIe lanes. What are they for & could some of them be used for the 2nd T600 card ? https://www.intel.in/content/www/in/en/products/sku/218834/intel-w680-chipset/specifications.html

You are absolutely right. First it is not me but 3 different Dell Websites from 3 different countries ( US, UK & Canada ) lets you select either two Nvidia T1000 OR Two AMD Pro WX3200 GPUs. My further research found that 3660 MOBO has one X4 slot that is open ended ( One below X16 ) so I...

Scat & Everyone, Can you please point out where would I suffer looking comparing two systems below ? I am doing no gaming or Video editing. Just two trading applications & other regular stuff. Dell Workstation 5820 Xeon W2235 @ 3.8...

Scat, I know what you mean. I submitted for a quote for 5820 with Xeon 2235 a week ago but haven't heard from them & can't get thru their phone so I am keeping my options open in case this supply chain issue doesn't resolve very soon.

I mostly work with Tick Charts & continuously need to change the number of ticks meaning go from 100 tick to 100,000 Tick chart & everything in between like 575 Tick chart, 1295 Tick chart, 67,575 Tick chart etc. Currently am using 10 Years old Dell T-7500 workstation with Xeon E5645@2.4 GHz...

How much part does a GPU play in calculations of chart indicators, calculations of plotting tick charts etc. Thus does a better or more expensive GPU with higher RAM help ? OR is it just CPU & other components & if yes what they are ?

Scat, I love workstations with Xeon as much as you do because I have been using one for 10 years straight for 16 Hrs a day running 12 monitors with a CPU as you said one third as powerful. I looked at 3660 because 3 days ago 5820 was priced at $ 3200.00 & same is $5200.00 today because they...
