multiple monitor display
Hi!
I am looking for a video card with the following features:
- the video card can serve 4 monitors (1920x1080) simultaniously
- 2 or 3 such video cards should be used simultaniously in one PC so that the total display consists of 8 or 12 monitors
- only a simple slide show will be dispalyed on each monitor. No 3D, no gaming. Thus the graphic power of the video card can be low.
- passive cooling would be an advantage.
- price should be low as possible.
Does anybody can recommend such video cards?
Does anybody has any experience which such a setup?
Thank you!

You can get a 2 port low end video card or two 2 ports low end video cards and use the below splitters.
2 low end cards and 3 splitters or 1 low end card and 2 splitters.

Thank you for your replies.
What I want to have in the end is one desktop consisting of 8 monitors (1920*4 x 1080*2 = 7680 x 2160 pixels) or 12 monitors (1920*4 x 1080*3 = 7680 x 3240 pixels).
Is it possible to use 2 or 3 graphic boards with 4 monitors each in one PC simultaniously so that I get one huge desktop?

The non-SLI cards should work as well. The only thing that SLI/Crossfire does is allow you to combine the power of both cards to your display(s), mainly for gaming purposes. I have run multiple non-sli cards in computers to be able to run multiple monitors.
