March 7, 201610 yr Modern high end video cards often have 4 video outputs (although annoyingly of up to 4 different standards!). If a second similar (or at least not mutually hostile) video card is added would that allow, in theory, up to 8 monitors to be connected? Assume Windows 10 and NVidia cards. Yes, I do know that multiple windows have a way of killing flightsim frame rates, but I'd like to know if there are any fundamental hardware/software limitations. Many thanks Bryn

March 10, 201610 yr In theory you should be able to add 8 monitors. However if you plan to use it for one application, you might run in to some issues. I haven't tried it, but I don't think you can display e.g. FSX across all 8 monitors. Again, I've never tried it so I might be way off. If your goal is to span your favoirite flightsim across 8 monitors, you can always use one graphic card and a couple of TrippleHead2Go.
March 10, 201610 yr Author I thought it was not possible to attach more than one TH2GO units to one graphic card. If that is possible, I could get up to 24 monitors (just joking!). Maybe I am remembering an earlier restriction which no longer applies. Bryn
