Card to support 4 monitors

Quote from Agassi:

OK. What about this card?

Does this also have heat, fan and noise issues? I don't think this one has a fan.

Yes, could work too.

Any card with a fan has potential noise concerns. Often cards without fans run hotter than those with fans... not too hot to cause overheating problems, of course, but still hotter.

Just like in life, there is no choice where "you can have it all" and at a low price.
 
So what could happen if I were to run say 8 monitors with a GPU without a fan for 10 hours a day doing daytrading? AM I running the risk of burning my mother board or some thing of that sort?

If this is the case, then I am better off with that ASUS card. Will post the link again.

Probably not. You always want to have "adequate cooling" airflow through your case. Fanless workstation video cards draw MUCH less power than consumer/gamer cards. The power draw on the NVS 300 is only 17.5W, maximum.

2 of these should solve my problem. Cheap too.

2, HDMI, 1 DVI, + 1 HDMI-DVI cable. Should work.

As with any "inexpensive consumer" peripheral, however, longevity is always a question.

Nvidia NVS is designed for workstation applications.... to "run all day long, year after year" is a given. Not that one can't fail, of course, but the huge majority of them run a lonnnng time without issue.

Wouldn't cost you much to try this. NVS will still be around if this Sapphire doesn't work out.

OK. I like NVS. But I am trying to keep my brand new monitors. I thought I had some connectivity issues due to my monitors having only HDMI.

I am assuming this supports 2 monitors. This does not say it has eyefinity...so can i still insert 2 of these in 2 slots and run a total of 4 monitors?

My PS is 850Watts. Just need some one's final confirmation before I place the order. Thanks again every body.

Sapphire spec page didn't say, but I found this quote in a 2010 review... "... The three outputs allow you to drive a triple-monitor setup, which ATI calls Eyefinity, making this the cheapest card capable of this feat...."
