rogueone Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Hi all, Is anyone out there who uses Matrox graphis cards to drive multiple momitors? i.e. (2) 8 inch vga monitors to use as MFD displays and (1) 24 inch Samsung monitor for main display with a-10c flight simulator plus blackshark and lockon sims. Any and all info greatly appreciated.

Mugenjin Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I don't think their cards are for gaming. I'm not sure though how it'd work for the 2x8in monitors in addition to a gaming card for the 24in.
BHawthorne Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I suggest getting an AMD 5870 Eyefinity 6 card with 6 outs. It can run your outside visuals and everything else. They're realtively cheap now that the card is EOL for about a year now.
Kuky Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 ASUS Radeon 6970 DirectCU II 2GB is an awesome card also and can run 6 monitors :) PC specs: Windows 11 Home | Asus TUF Gaming B850-Plus WiFi | AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D + LC 360 AIO | MSI RTX 5090 LC 360 AIO | 55" Samsung Odyssey Gen 2 | 64GB PC5-48000 DDR5 | 1TB M2 SSD for OS | 2TB M2 SSD for DCS | NZXT C1000 Gold ATX 3.1 1000W | TM Cougar Throttle, Floor Mounted MongoosT-50 Grip on TM Cougar board, MFG Crosswind, Track IR
BHawthorne Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 (edited) Wow that thing is a 3 slot beast. Looks ideal for 6-port current series. Too bad it's 3-slot though. I suppose it good to deal with 2 less dispaly adapters though. While DP ports are the future of display connectivity, it sure isn't right now. VESA that writes the port specification for DVI and DP, depreciated DVI awhile back. DP i's to be the DVI replacement. That won't happen until more display manufacturers adopt the port in most products though. :) Edited April 12, 2011 by BHawthorne
