| 1272737 | 2012-04-29 11:05:00 | My current pc uses a ATI4870 which has 2 dvi ports on it running 2x22' screens, I need to run either one or two more 17' screens off it, does anyone have any suggestions for what I can do? | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1272738 | 2012-04-29 11:22:00 | USB graphics adaptor... have used it a few times to run 4 screens of one pc that didnt have a separate graphics card. You will have to buy 2 adaptors with you want 2 more screens. www.trademe.co.nz |

| 1272739 | 2012-04-29 11:29:00 | How much can they handle? I was looking at the st-labs one at pbtech cause i have an account from work there. pbtech.co.nz |

| 1272740 | 2012-04-29 11:33:00 | How much can they handle? you mean resolution? not really sure, the screens i ran were just 19" 4:3, so they were in 1280x1024. best to check with PBtech. |

| 1272741 | 2012-04-29 11:37:00 | I mean what kind of stuff on the screen, yeah my screens I want to use are 17' squares that do 1280x1024 max. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1272742 | 2012-04-29 11:50:00 | Easily run four screens... Get a 6870. Can run up too 6 screens using 1 hdmi, 1 dvi and 4 on mini display using splitter cables. And with newer cards coming out its a relativly cheap buy. Also couldnt you use a splitter cavle for dvi on the card or crossfire another card. Buying another 4870 will probably be cheaper than getting those usb converter things. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1272743 | 2012-04-29 12:16:00 | I have a pc waiting in the wings, I just need 1/2 more screen until then | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1272744 | 2012-04-29 12:18:00 | Then a dvi splitter cable is the cheapest way since its only temporary. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1272745 | 2012-04-29 12:26:00 | Well temporary for a month or so. | nedkelly (9059) | ||
| 1272746 | 2012-04-29 12:45:00 | or a cheap 2nd graphics card would probably work if you have the slot/space for it. | dugimodo (138) | ||
