Best video card that supports 4 monitors?

[kciaccio]

I am looking to get a gaming video card that supports my four monitors.

I don't want to use two cards for this because I want to crossfire in the future.

Trying to keep the budget for the card to under $300.

I don't do a lot of gaming but want the option too whenever I see a game I like.

My monitors are only 1440x900.

Right now the CPU I am using a AMD Athlon II X4 630 over-clocked to 3.3 from 2.8.


Any suggestions?

that would be ATi / AMD and your going to need active display port to DVI connectors if your monitors dont support dvi your screwed

otherwise 6950 2gb.

I guess i should have told you about my current GPU set up. I am using a HIS HD5750 to run three monitors-one thru display port, one tru DVI and one thru HDMI. The fourth monitor is thru a USB video connector(A lot slower than the video card outputs).

well 6950 it is then, but your still going to need a 2nd Displayport active adaptor to DVI etc to make all 4 work correctly.

Excellent! Display port adapters are only $20 at Monoprice so that works!

Probably in six months I would get the second card and play with crossfire.

Not that I need that much power probably, but I love to tinker if you know what I mean.lol

Thanks for your help.

remember it needs to be an ACTIVE adapter not passive passive wont work when it comes to gaming etc.

I currently use this-http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=104&cp_id=10428&cs_id=1042801&p_id=5135&seq=1&format=2

Is it bad to use VGA connections?

I thought passive modules could now handle 1080p at 60hz?
