Wall TV Matrix Help

[Thepriceiswrongbob]

Looking for some help. I purchased 4 tv's to create a matrix in my living room. I plan on using the matrix to watch sports using youtube TV, Hulu etc. 

 

My current set up uses a Zotac GTX 1050 mini. I guess my first question is can this run an 8k Matrix (I would find that hard to believe). 

 

Is there a bargin card you guys would suggest for this? I do not plan on gaming on this display....ever. It will be used exclusively for sports.

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

No, it won't work on a GeForce card.

 

The technology is called Nvidia Surround for GeForce cards and Nvidia Mosaic for Quadro cards. Surround only supports three monitors horizontally. Mosaic supports up to 16 monitors in a 4x4 arrangement, along with bezel correction. You'll need a recent Quadro card (M4000 or better, older cards don't support high enough resolutions at sufficient refresh rates) and high quality cables. With any more than 4 displays, you need to get more cards and add a Quadro Sync card, which basically facilitates vertical sync on a display-level (think V-Sync, but for monitors instead of pixels).

Not in the slightest. Interesting aspect ratio you're going for though...

Could you elaborate? wouldn't 4 tv's hold the same aspect ratio as 1?

Thanks! looks like I need to start looking for a quality used M4000. Luckily they don't seem to be priced too badly in the gray market.

Oh sorry I was picturing you doing a Ultrawide config.
