Help Choosing Workstation Graphics Cards

[NYSE]

Hello guys,

Looking for guidance on selecting graphics cards for a upcoming build. I'm planning to run ( 6 ) 3440x1440 curved monitors and would like them to connect directly to the cards no adapters and run at 60hz each. I'm a equities trader is reason for so many screens, this setup will replace my current setup with ( 8 ) 25" Dell monitors.

 

Nvidia Quadro & AMD Firepro were all could find that would potentially handle the load but haven't a clue which ones, how many needed etc would work or are best suited to all day every day workloads. Also Im not a gamer so its strictly for workstation purposes.

 

Any help is much appreciated.

Yeah no, gamers know jack about workstation cards. I'll take a look around and see what OP really needs here.

You would need 6 DisplayPort 1.3 outputs, which means you will probably need two cards. Pick up maybe two GTX 960s with triple DP outputs:

any mid / hight end gaming graphices card is good for production, Adobe did a very good job on optimising them, you wont need a quadro / firepro expet if you do crazy after effects renders or some very high RES work, you will probably get a better price / performance ratio with a 980 / 980ti or something like that ^^

That's actually a reasonable solution. I was going to suggest a couple of FirePro W4100s but they probably weren't going to be powerful enough.

He's using the card for six displays, not for rendering... A GTX 980 Ti would be a terrible option since it doesn't even support the amount of displays he has.

That is great, but I don't see anything in the OP about content production, so Quadro/FirePro doesn't make any sense here.

Thank you for replies. True Im not doing production work like CAD etc but the amount of data I have running and open at one time is substantial and cant have any lag. The Quadro and Firepro cards just seemed to be in most high end workstations is why I mentioned them. Since running so many monitors just clueless what I needed.

 These cards are DisplayPort 1.3 equipped  ?

No sorry, that was a typo, I meant DisplayPort 1.2, which these cards have.

No problem thanks for your help!
