What is the cheapest way you would suggest to run 4(or more screens if possible lol) on a single r9 270x?

 

Because i have 2 dell 19" screens(with the swivel stands)and i have a third broken one that i plan to fix,i also have my 22" 1080p screen(and a 23" 1080p in pawn)

 

Until i can get a 1440p screen,i was going the run the 3 dells in portrait mode as one big screen,then if i can have 1 or both of the 1080p screens on either side of the screens.

 

Can i do all 5? cause i remember hearing something about display port splitters being supported on the R series cards,but idk enough  to know if that would work or not.

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Depends which R9 270X you have.  I had the Asus R9 270 and it has Two DVI ports, 1 HDMI, and 1 Displayport.  So I had 2 Monitors on DVI, One on a HDMI to DVI Spliter and the other on the DIsplay port.

you can use your motherboards integrated graphics as well as the r9 270x's 3 outputs, to do a total of 4-6 monitors, depending on your motherboard

i was going to run the 3 dells as one screen in eyefinity for a res of 3072x1280,on that i would play games, like this guy 

Then one 1080p screen for when i stream video/music, the other would have my web browser.

I have the XFX R9 270x DD(factory OC to 1050 mhz)

i have the sabertooth 990fx which does not have any integrated graphics.

I dont think the 270x can handle that

But hentai is porn, so it would be 1 for bf4, 1 for minecraft, 1 for reddit /r/nsfw, 2 for porn.

If you put it that way, but I would consider it anime with body parts.

the res is kinda overwhelming for single GPU

 

to run 3 screens you need the power like the R9 290 

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

I would only game on the 3 dells at a res of 3072x1280,the other screens would be running stuff like a web browser,hardware monitor,vlc, stuff like that.

 

Also guys,i have an old ati aiw x800xl,card that i was trying to see what was wrong with it,it won't boot as the main card,but would boot as a secondary card,and if i moved the monitor cable from the main card to it, it showed up just fine.(i did these tests in my nephews pc that had a gt240 as the main card)

 

Could i mabye throw in it JUST for running one of the 1080p screens,and nothing else??

For Minecraft, just /afk, and it'll be right into the RAM, the rest is just video players and a browser, so the GPU only has the load on BF4.

Then don't tell me to do it. :S

has nothing to do with it. youre saying a mid range gpu is capable on handling 4 monitors whilst running mc, bf, and other programs.
