If only you could connect that to a Raspberry Pi, then the whole PC build would be doable, with that specific part.

But that's way too expensive... Then you're better off either also using the iGPU, or using SLI/CrossFireX.

Don't post if you don't intend on making the machine. "Dream machine" threads are created every day and go nowhere.

Nobody ever said it has to be the best solution or anything. It just said it has to run 5 displays and this does it.

ok. because 500$ is a dream machine ?  im actually going to build this.

for now what I have as a possibility is a q6600 8gb ram 1hdd 2 660ti's in sli. and a 750w evga psu.

500$ total.

im looking to see if I can get better stuff.

now next time try to think and read about what you are replying to instead of (probably) reporting a thread and talking shit about what you do not know.   now if you don't have an answer relevent to the thread, please leave it.

thank you.

only 3 screens

 

also there is 0 need for an ssd

[NumLock21]

You will need DP apapters for this, the other way is to grab 3x of them extemely cheap cards, but then you'll need a expensive board that has 3x pcie x16 slots.

Cheap cards won't be able to run any games, just basic desktop. Nvidia cards and run up to 4 (I think) in surround. Onboard from motherboards on some can drive up to 3.

"Take your PC games to the next level of reality and immersion. Most modern games look great on three screens, and only AMD Radeon™ graphics offer you the ability to play across five screens for an eye-popping gaming experience. Other combinations and configurations with up to six screens work too.1 Create your dream display." That's what it says on the sapphire site below the r7 360 so i guess it will support, i have no idea how demanding flight sim is though. I know it's old and stuff but across 3(5) screens, dunno
