Running 4 LCD on one videocard.

Quote from Vas62:

Wow,that a fast reply from you guys.
Thank you for info.
That's all I need to know.
I just checked I have two PCI available so I can use two identical cards.

I was allways more than sure word Quadro is in reference to number 4,as 4 wheel drive in Audi, four audio channels in audio electronics etc,, etc. I may be wrong then.

Thanks adain guys. Didn't expect an answer so early in the morning.

Regards:)

You'll be working with legacy video cards. Check to make sure they display the resolution of the monitors you intend to use or that you can make a "custom resolution" in the driver. Any resolution higher than 1280x1024 requires attention.... especially widescreen ones.

Also, some responders didn't notice that you have an AGP mobo and offered opinions on PCIE video cards.... which of course are not compatible.

Gnome, do you know anything about laptop LCD's at all? I've got a laptop with a cracked screen and need to find a replacement screen, will any 14.1" 30 pin connection do as long as it's XGA?

Can't get much more accurate than that, even if I say so myself!

Who said daytrading isn't profitable!

Cabletrader... I don't know about replacing the screen. If it's an old machine, probably costs more than the computer is worth. eBay sometimes has them for some models.

It's not that old, a year maybe, it seems a shame to bin it over a $50 screen somehow.

Maybe ask someone in tech if the screens are generic enough that any one will do. However, video display includes computer's video hardware, monitor's hardware, and screen together.
 
FWIW..the best cards i found were Nvidia nvs 440...newegg has them made by PNY...just make sure they fit your mobo....

IIRC, they come with splitters to run 4 analog (VGA) monitors...or you can buy the splitters (1 DMS-59 male to 2 DVI Female) to run the monitors digitally (if they have a DVI input)

so to sum it up.....2 video cards + 4 splitters = 8 monitors

OP has an AGP mobo... NVS 440 won't work.

Yes, NVS 440 is PCI Express,won't work on my mo board.

NVS 400 is PCI .Just have to check resolution for DVI.
Some sites report it as 1600x1200,
but specification says it's 1280 x 1024.

And it's 64 MB only.
If running anything bigger than 21" I would prefer to have
1600x1200 at least for DVI.

It looks like G45X4QUAD-B (Cabletrader's suggestion) also has
1280 x 1024 in DVI mode.

I will research a little more to find out something suitable in matter of specification .

Cabletrader-good entry from 1.4600 on EUR. :)

Thanks for input everybody.
