    Multi-Monitor setup


    Hi all

    Recommendation on Video Cards required for Multi Monitor setup.

    I'd like to have 4 monitors connected simultaneously with independent controls (for using Photoshop CS4 etc).

    Do I need video cards with Multi monitor input or several different video cards installed (even if this IS possible on most Mobos I think I only have 2 possible slots anyway for this).

    Any ideas anyone (need it all to work on W7 x-64).

    I currently have an old card working on XP which has 2 Monitor inputs -- I don't need all the 3D etc for Photoshop processing.

    The W7 system I'm using has 16 GB RAM so there's enough for the Video.

    Cheers

    Photoshop CS4 actually uses gpu acceleration. See at:

    edit | preferences | performance | GPU settings

    Two dual-dvi output cards should do well for you operating independently, for the total of 4 monitors.

    Hi there

    I've got enough slots to go down this route so this seems fine.

    Thanks for the info -- any that work on W7 yet.

    Cheers
