A New quad video card

Quote from Jayford:

"... but decided to just go with two 30 inch screens in a complete system upgrade (need higher end card).

Matrox has a new line of cards to compete with Nvidia Quadro NVS...

The "Matrox-M" features passive cooling on all, and can drive 30" DVI monitors.

Comparatively expensive, though... $259-$599.
 
thanks guys, that Matrox will be available in Q3/08, says the website. It's looking good.

the FireMV seems to be a good option too, thank you for suggesting this card.

I'll keep you posted, if anyone is interested.

Unless you want to run 30" monitors, Nvidia Quadro NVS line is the better choice due to price and availability.

I need some help form the hardware gurus here. My old PC finally gave up, RIP, and I got a new one, unfortunately all my AGP, and PCI video cards are obsolete and will not work with this system. It has one PCI express x16, and four PCIe x1 slots. It came with a nice video card but it's only for one monitor, I need to power up 3 more monitors from one card. Can somebody please recommend a Quad video card, PCIe x16, that will run with 4 24" monitors? The resolution I'm using is 1900x1200. I will appreciate any advice, thanks.

You could run Nvidia Quadro NVS 290 dualheads... they come in PCIEx16 and PCIEx1.... likely save you some money vs. quad.

Or, you could run NVS 285s.. they also come in x16 and x1. Only 128MB RAM each card (256MB on 290s), but enough for trading.... 285s could save you more money.
 
ok, I just bought on eBay a nice Nvidia Quadro Nvs 290 PCIe x1, that powers 2 of my 24" LCDs, I also use NVidia GeForce 8500GT in PCIe x16... so that covers 3 monitors.

I bought another motherboard for the old P4 dinosaur, and I'm planning to use it with the older AGP and PCI multimonitor cards .. it will power the rest of the monitors...

Thanks for the advice guys!

There's a fairly good chance you can get those 2 cards to work together, but they DO have different drivers... so don't be surprised if you have difficulty.
