No, SLI/Crossfire is for combining two cards for additional performance video output from just a single card
It has nothing to do with outputting video from several cards. It does not take a Z97 board to run video from several video cards
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
The difference in price between a H97 & z97 can be nothing more than $20-30.
The GTX970 you were recommended is a top range gaming card which is about $200 more expensive than a card that would adequately run 4x monitors to be used with a trading platform @ 1080p- the only reason you would buy a top range card would be if you were a gamer who wanted high frame rates across all monitors eg 60FPS while playing the new call of duty.
So if you wanted to free up some dollars then buying a lower end/ mid range card would be the best idea. As mentioned above, any common brand( Geforce, Asus, msi etc) from the Nvidia GTX range, that is 660 and above should run 4x monitors. You won't notice any difference between a low/mid range card and a high end card, unless you're gaming.
Here are some cards i found based on you guys ideas....low cost, powers 4 monitors with the right cords, Low Watt,
2gb...what do you guys think of these for the Price?
Nice video card. I have to say, Nvidia chips have serious problem with WHQL Drivers. My previous G card was asus gtx 580 and When I did install new drivers, G card stop working forever. I did try many option how to fix it but finally I found forum where many people had same problem. That experience cost me 520 euros.I am never had problem in my life with AMD radeon chips. I do have currently 3 monitors and I can extend to 6 monitors. Also temperature is much lower than at Nvidia. Currently I have on two fans and temp is 34-40 degrese.
@kickmic....is this one able to Run 4 Monitors @ 2560x1440 ?...this is the one you posted earlier in the thread with 4 Display ports.
It is $ 347 @Amazon Graphics Cards - R9280X-DC2-3GD5-V2 - ASUS
Is there any other choices that will run 4 Monitors at that Resolution ?...that is at the top of my budget at that price,
but i am not focused on that if i can get this system together, and working with 4 Monitors.
Otherwise i might have to rethink screen size resolution choices.
Like you said earlier this is Max amount of screen real estate one can monitor ,or it may be too much.....
But i rather have more, as i can always focus on what i want to over couple monitors, and use others for anything that comes to mind like position trades....other markets i can check on for set ups.
i know it cant do 6 as I have that card (7970 is same thing)
best to drop a line to both ASUS and Gigabyte to confirm as there is very little about this around the place as its not common to run so many monitors at this resolution.
worth having a good think about just how much screen res you need - i run 4 x 1920 x 1200 in portrait - if the monitors were larger i would struggle to look all the way to the sides comfortably, or all the way to the top comfortably
