I currently have a Nvidia Quad NVS450 Graphics Card in my Workstation and am running 4 monitors. I want to add 2 more monitors and have got a spare PCI slot. I am thinking about adding a NVS295 Dual Card so I add the 2 more monitors. Before I did this I wanted to investigate if there is another quality graphics card out there I could purchase that you can connect 6 monitors to.
Graphics Card for 6 Monitors
- Thread starter BBY2050
- Start date
I run an AMD Radeon HD 7750 Eyefinity 6. I looked into this and quickly realized that these cards aren't really made for traders, but gamers. So the cards that could handle 6 monitors also tended to be expensive with all the bells and whistles. I'm pretty happy with my Eyefinity 6 - it has gotten the job done well and was reasonably priced at 250-300.
The NVS295 comes in PCIEx16, and x1. Does it also come in PCI??
Update...
I checked eBay and couldn't find NVS PCI cards after the NVS280. Don't know if it comes in dual-port, but if it does might work with the proper driver and W7.

That's the first thing he needs to check - whether he has a PCI, PCIe 1.x, 2.x, or 3.x . Then he can figure out which card fits his needs...
He already said, "PCI". And there is no such thing as "PCIE 2X or 3X" slots. There are only x1, x4, x8, x16.
I'm not talking lanes. I'm talking about the technical specs. PCIe 1.0a, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1, 3.x, 4.x

The main thing is for him to determine what his mobo supports so he doesn't buy an unsupported newer card for an older mobo.
Nothing like wasting time and money ordering the wrong card, only to have to send it back and get a different one. I've burned myself doing that, so I'd imagine he'd appreciate not having to go through that hassle...

In a trading environment, no matter. (1) The graphics demands are minimal, and (2) all later versions are backwards compatible.
