What Card(s) Could Possibly Achieve 15840 max (horiz) resolution on 5 displays

[DadOf6Boyz]

Hi all,

 

My build:

AMD Ryzen 7 5800x

Aorus  waterforce x360 AIO

NZXT N7 B550

64GB Corsair Vengeance PRO SL DDR4 3600MHz RAM

1x 500GB and 1x 1TB Samsung 970 EVO M.2 NVMe
Zorin OS 16pro

NZXT H710i case

 

I have and intend to use

1x Samsung 49" Odyssey G9 5120x1440p

2x Samsung 34" 3440x1440p

1x Acer Predator 27" 1920x1080

and

1x 5" 1920x880

 

I can not figure out what GPU (or GPUs?) will make this work without spending TOO much money (would like to spend less than $2k on the GPU(s) to achieve this) or being underpowered 

 

I do not game - this is solely for multiple project boards being open for Software Dev Project Management of multiple teams

 

Please help I am totally lost

Updating/clarifying budget

anything from the 10 series with enough ports on it , if they made a gt 1030 with that many ports it would probably work fine. or just use more than one gpui

chances are though that if you need a horizontal resolution of over 15k you most likely aren't doing something correctly.

Do you mean $2k for the whole build or just for the GPU?
Will you be doing gaming or do you need that much monitor real estate for productivity? If not gaming you could get away with a GTX 1060 to drive those, I'd recommend a 3070/3080 if you're gaming on that hardware though.

the 1060 would not offer any more advantage over any other gpu in a 2d use case other than costing more

Other than having more ports like OP needs. IIRC 1050 has 3 ports, 1060 ships stock with 4 or 5 but could be wrong - if a 1050 with that many port can be found that'd be a better solution for the price

You need 3 DP1.4 for the high res displays and either another DP (through MST chaining) or two HDMI (if they support rated refresh rate through HDMI) for the 1080p displays. There are catches though

 

Nvidia: There is a 4 working output limit from their Geforce cards. Dont sure if MST is within this limit

AMD: The only gaming card they have with 4 DP or 3DP + 2 anything is the Asrock RX 5700XT Taichi, which is not only out of production but they didn't sell much of it either, the card's other aspects just don't look good considering its price.

 

So tbh you only have two choices, a not so old Quadro/Radeon Pro so they still have DP1.4 and no limit you would reach in displays per card, or two graphics cards with 3 DP1.4 combined. If you want to spend as little as possible on new GPU/s, get a pair of GTX 1650. If you're fine with used cards, some retired Quadro/Radeon Pro with enough ports could also do the job.

AFAIK all nVidia cards (including quadros) can ONLY drive 4 displays. I've tested this with my laptop 2080S, even using MST hubs you can only have 4 displays active at once.
Fun side note: this includes VR headsets as well...

You can get a cheap USB A to HDMI adapter (or a dirt cheap old card) to run the 5" display, I assume that's just for a sensorpanel or something that doesn't need low latency

Any 20 series or newer card should work. (The G9 requires more bandwidth than 10 series has to run at full 240hz) Most if not all 20 series cards have 3 Displayport 1.4 ports which should be enough to run the 3 ultrawides (+an HDMI to run the 1080p monitor)

Doing something incorrectly? Because I prefer having a ton of information readily in front of me to make decisions for my teams?

[DadOf6Boyz]

So again - I'm obviously not the expert which is why I'm coming here but I was under the impression the number of ports alone does not indicate the maximum display because of the following: Ports have an individual maximum resolution. The GPU itself supersedes those port level max res because of its own maximum total resolution. Example on a gigabyte geforce rtx 3080 vision: 

 

Therefore - the GPU needs to have multiple ports, yes but also, the GPU maximum resolution must not exceed the total monitor target max resolution OR you must have 2x GPU with both enough ports AND enough total combined dig max res??? 

So again trying to go to you all as the experts for that sweet spot, professional recommendation of the GPU (or 2x GPU if that is your opinion the best method to go with) that are compatible with my MOBO and will meet the criteria of having enough ports and a enough total combined dig max res

No but I like that that was your takeaway from that. If youre already convinced the setup your using is the only method and already decided the 3080 is the best choice for a 2d workload then theres not much anyone can do as far as recommendations

Oh lord - you're one of "those". I like that "your takeaway" from my EXAMPLE was that I was "already convinced" that a 3080 was the best choice....in a "please tell me what hardware to use to accomplish this" post. A post, by the way, where you, a self proclaimed professional "mean girl" has literally offered no specific useful solution. "anything from the 10 series with enough ports on it" ---- ok....do you know of any??? HAHAHAHA Sheesh - great help kiddo
