April 23, 20206 yr Hi. Actually I have 3 32'' tv for main view. I would like in a future, making a new pc, to have 5 screens un main view. I would like buy in a future 1080ti 11gb but only it has 4 outputs. If I add a graphic card like Sapphire Nitro+ Radeon RX 590 8GB GDDR5 UEFI that has 5 outputs, it is possible to use saphire for main view and 1080ti for undock instruments of cockpit like PFD, ND, etc...? Or it is wasting a great graphic card for that use? I saw too matrox c680 but is 700 euros . What do you recommend yo me? Regards.
April 24, 20206 yr I’m not an expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I have a little experience with multiple monitors and multiple GPUs in a single PC. You didn’t mention what software you’re running (P3D, FSX, XP, ...). When I tried to run 4 monitors / 2 GPUs, FSX and FSX:SE consistently struggled a little and was unflyable, regardless of settings. At 5 monitors, FSX crashed instantly. I also tried a single GPU with 6 outputs; same results. On P3D, I brought in a 2nd PC and put one GPU in each, connecting them together via my home LAN and using WidevieW. That got all 5 monitors working. That’s what I experienced.

Now with one pc I run 7 screens. 3 for main view. It runs fine. I want to run 5 in main view. Regards.

May 14, 20206 yr I run XP with 5 screens but only 3 are used for display, the other two are used for instruments and charts. Even if it were possible to run 5 display screens from 1 GPU, you may end up with really low graphics settings? I think one way to do this is to split the workload between two or more PCs but I'm not sure if FSX supports that. I know XP does, but even that has a few issues.
