280x to 750 everything in that price point should be good (unless theres a r7 240, it's bad)

You'll have a hard time finding a 280x under 200$

The GTX 750 is a great card for that budget! :D

 

edit

 

Oh, four displays. Hm. The Gigabyte 750 Ti has four display ports I believe, and it is under 200$.

Can you use more than one card?

 

If you can just use 2 cheapest ones with two outputs.

CPU: i7 3770K | MB: EVGA Z77 FTW | RAM: HyperX Savage 2400Mhz 16GB | GPU: R9 280X Toxic | Cooler: Scythe Fuma | PSU: CoolerMaster B600

SSD: Crucial MX300 525GB | HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB - Toshiba DT01ACA300 3TB

As long as you're just trading, you won't need anything fancy.

 

A GTX 6/750Ti will be fine for years, if I understand what you're asking for.

The 750Ti has three outputs. 

 

 

You could use an MST hub to connect multiple monitors through DP though. 

 

Do you have an onboard output? If so, you could use something like a GT720 for the cheapest solution.

@player285

Sapphire 270x does 4 displays without even using displayport.

Is also under $200, in some places.

At least my Sapphire does.

 

If your only after outputs,... 2x HD5450?

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

Im looking for a graphics card with 4 outputs that is under $200. I'm gonna do trading on four screens so I need a decent GPU.

 

Just find a card in your price range and check the specs.

Outputs and total monitor count should be in the specs or the descriptions.

Most cards around 200 will output to 4 screens fine.

GTX 960, gigabyte version has that flex display thing which I think will fit right where you need it. It's $210 at most places.

CPU: G3258 @ 4GHz GPU: Gigabyte GTX 960 OC RAM: 8GB G.Skill DDR3 1600 SSD: Corsair LS 120GB Case: Antec GX500 Mouse: Logitech G402 Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow Headphones: Shure SRH440 Microphone: That Zalman Zm-Mic1 that everyone recommends but noone uses

Remember when the R9 280 was the HD 7950? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

In that case.

Lowest end card I can find that supports 4 modern displays.  Still reasonably powerful for what you need.  (make sure you get the 2x DVI version, as there's a lot that only have 3 outputs.)

 

750Ti might be better in terms of power usage, but this is quite a bit cheaper.

4K // R5 3600 // RTX2080Ti
