MST on Quadros

[AdrianB]

Hi!

TL;DR: Will a Quadro like the P4000 with 4 native DP-Connectors run 7 Outputs via MST, or are they also limited to 4 Outputs like GeForce?

 

Long Version:

I built a PC for House of Worship-Livestreams a few months back, all running smoothly.

 

Due to new requirements, it is now necessary to run 7 displays outputs (1080p) out of this PC.

This is fixed, there is no way to reduce this.

 

Due to capture- and network-cards, there is no room for a second graphics card, so I have to replace the 1650 that is currently in there with something that runs 7 independent outputs (native or MST)

I know that the consumer Cards are limited to 4 displays. Connecting the displays via MST shows all 7 in the Windows setup, but it is impossible to target more than 4.

 

The Specs from a Quadro (P4000 in the attached screenshot) say "Max Simultaneous Displays: 4 direct, 4 MST". Does this mean that even with MST I am limited to 4, or does MST enable up to 4 more displays?

I am really confused by the way they list this spec, and was not able to find an answer.

 

Help is appreciated, thank you in advance!

I watched a video recently on using that gpu to game.  Apparently it’s 980ti level but the setup was hairy and basically went with stuff that sounded similar to gaming on a mining gpu.  It has to make use of iGPU stuff that was meant for laptops.  Sounded like something of a bugbear to set up.

Unfortunately I don't have one of those to test with. But with that and a few other things I have seen, it looks like it will drive only 4 monitors in total despite how they are connected.
