Hello Can you plug 9 monitors to a system? Can you plug 18 monitors to a system? Someone told me that you can just add more graphic cards like the HD 7870 or such that have 6 outputs and plug up to 6, 12, 18 or 24 displays. If this is possible, can I just extend the desktop using windows and arrange the displays in any way I want? I'm asking all of this because I'm being asked to build a 3*3 display wall using 1366*768 TVs and a 2*9 display wall using the same TVs Will it work? are the images/videos shown in the wall run smoothly?? is there another way to do this?? Thanks in advance
Yes that is possible, it depends on your GPU on how many Display port it has. Then you can SLI Nvidia cards or Crossfire ATI Radeon cards, then use their display ports. 1 port each monitor. You can use the HDMI, VGA, DVI. Use a connector accordingly. Note: Displaying 9-18 monitors will likely and very much depend on your whole system (CPU, MB, GPU, PSU, and the likes) if it can handle that much monitor. Since 1 gpu consumes a certain amount of power from your psu, then having 1-4 gpu's you'll probably need a high-end psu also, and good motherboard, cpu, cpu cooler, ram for temps and what not. Lastly an awesome case to go with..
Jan, thank you for your response I've managed to plug up to 12 monitors without problems by using 4 hd6670 Just for your information, congiguring those 4 cards in crossfire would disable all of the other 3 cards and you will finally end up with only 3 ports for your displays (very powerfull ones I suppose, but still just 3) The issue I've run on now is that I haven't been able to find some way to tell windows that those displays have a bezel and that I would like that windows would compensate over this, I mean, "not show me the image that was supposed to be in that space", so that diagonal lines would not break over the transitions. I know that Eyefinity has this bezel compensation technology, but I haven't been able to find some other equivalent so that I can manage my 12 monitors and have a nice 2*6 video wall Please tell me if you know how to do this (I know that SoftTH may be the answer, but can't find/don't know how to configure a video/image player and the setup of SoftTH :S) thanks in advance
