For things like that they use things like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-3-0-to-VGA-DVI-HDMI-Multi-Monitor-External-Video-Card-Adapter-for-Windows-/131231311901?pt=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item1e8dfee81d

No fancy GPUs (sadly?)

But could you use something like a GTX 770?

 

Or would that be useless?

I know you could do 6 with most AMD cards that have mini DP or DP and use a Multi Display Hub.

 

Asus had a 7970(I think) that had 2 DVIs and 4 MDP/DP that would run 6 monitors natively but trying for 8 may require a Display Hub.

 

You would have to check but some GPUs may let you use 2 Display hubs plus 2 ports on the card itself. But no one card comes to mind like that.

are you planning on gaming on it, too?

[dragoon20005]

gaming on 8 monitor is crazy!!! no single gpu can power 8 screen at the same time. 6 is the highest for AMD cards

 

but for normal desktop it will be fine

 

that will be one heck of a huge viewing area with 8 screens thou

No it will only be used for bookkeeping and excel sheets.

Problem here is that you have 4 ports to many and this makes the second card really not worth the money

1e card for 6 displays and 2e for the other 2 so it totals 8
