multiple screens
 
Hi all,

I currently have 2 screens connected to my desktop. The graphic card in the back of the case has only 2 outputs.
What is the easiest (& least expensive) way to be able to connect 4 screens?
Do I have to get another card that supports 4 outputs (replacing the old one), or add another card supporting 2 (so in total I have 4)?
Or even better maybe, is there some kind of "fiche harame" that will dispense me of getting to put a new card (just taking more outputs from it)?

NB: The screens that I have also have on their sides some kind of vga output i guess. it didn't work however connecting one to the other directly without passing through the computer itself :hawhaw:

Thx!

well what i know is that you cant get another graphics card and connect it with the other one unless if you have an sli motherboard , if you have a geforce, or a cross fite motherboard if you have an ati

I have dual monitors here, what you need to do is to connect the first monitor to the normal port and you need to buy a converter for the digital port (i m not sure of its name, it's the one just near the main port, max 10$) and connect the second monitor to it.
I have 2 x 19" wide aka "Autostrad"

Xcoder, he's talking about connecting 4 monitors at a time and not 2 monitors.
@polo, you have to see first if your VGA's capability is able to handle 4 monitors at a time. Check this in the manufacturer official website.

after checking, it turned out that i have an ATI FireGL V3100. According to the AMD website, it's "Dual display support via DVI and VGA output". I guess this means no hope to support 4 monitors, unless i change it...

Oops it seems i didn't see the "4" monitors in your first post.
Well such thing really requires something big.
