Solved Need To Run 5 Monitors

[shadow2201]

Hey Guys,

My boss is kinda monitor hungry at the moment, and wants to run 5 monitors on his computer. How can I do this? Will 2 video cards do this? Do I run them in SLI or Separately? I'm pretty familiar with PC building, but I've never had anyone need more than 4 monitors.

Thanks,
Shadow

I run 5 atm, just pop two video cards in (no need for sli) and just hook the screens up, try not to mix and match cards as the results may be erratic - try to get two of the same card and you should be fine.

Edit - I've always had better results for 5-6 screens with nvidia cards than ati.

Thanks a lot for the quick response! This is what I assumed was the answer, but since I've never done it before, I just wanted to make sure!
