Posted December 5, 2015 I'm trying to build a good Animation, game development, gaming rig this is going to do everything game development related with only a single user (Me) and will also be used for basic video editing and other workstation stuff for school I'm having Issues finding a good multi-gpu setup that'll allow me to use 6 monitors for animation (3 for gaming is okay) but i really need 6 to make the animation and 3d modeling easier I would like to use Nvidia but it that is too complicated for a newbie to do i'll go with the best advice currently i'm just looking for a gpu then i'll build the rest of the rig around that Thank you to everyone willing to help me (please don't mention eyefinity i've looked into that and i don't like it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 5, 2015 Author my dad say's he'll buy it for me as a 'i believe in your goals here this'll help you gift' piece by piece so as long as the price range is reasonable he'll be okay with it (he understands that computers are expensive to build) (new to site not sure if there's an easier way to reply to you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 5, 2015 What sort of resolution would the 6 monitors have? IOW, could one not simply work with fewer higher resolution units? 80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

If you had to guess on what he would consider a reasonable total, what would it be? ummm I guess he would tell me no more the $500 $550 max per gpu then he would say unless i can prove why i need a more expensive one (he is a really flexible guy in that kin of stuff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted December 5, 2015 autodesk software (i think that's the name) blender unity maya photoshop the adobe products the main reason for 6 monitors is the 3D editing things 1 monitor per main angle I'd start with 3 1080p monitors.http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009POS0GS/ref=mp_s_a_1_93?qid=1449294041&sr=8-93π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=24+inch+monitor Something like 3 of these would be a good start for you. Do you have any brand loyalty for Motherboards, CPU, GPU, etc?

How can you be so positive that you need many more monitors than professionals typically use? 80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Posted December 5, 2015 okay i'll start with 3 thanks for advice um the only thing i'm specific about is i would like a Intel CPU everything else i don't have brand loyalty Alright, so in all actuality, you're really not wanting to get gaming cards if you're really set on doing this for this purpose. I recommend doing some research on what, if any, benefit professional GPUs would give you. If professional GPUs are recommended, I just found a good deal on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0072LC4LS/ref=mp_s_a_1_11?qid=1449294952&sr=8-11π=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=quadro+6000 Professional GPUs are extremely overpriced considering the only real benefit is better driver support, so this is honestly a petty good deal.
