Looking to Run 8 monitors off a Lenovo K450

[jcappsiv]

Looking for some ways to run 8 monitors off a Lenovo K450. There will be minimum gaming on it and mostly work station use. I have 2 MATROX QID-QDA8X128 128M AGP QUAD VIDEO GRAPHICS CARDs but my machine has only 1 PCI 16x slot. Could I use a riser to achieve this?

 

And on the expensive side, if I wanted to do some low level gaming.

Could I do an external PCI enclosure and 2 of these cards https://www.visiontek.com/radeon-7750-sff-2gb-gddr5-4m-4x-minidp.html with a riser?

 

What do you guys think would be the best way to go.

 

Cheers!

The Cards you have seem to be AGP. Which was the graphics standard slot before PCIe. 

They aren't compatible with your PCIe Slots.

two things one there would be a total of 4 outputs, not 8 and each card doesn't have enough ram because my titan xp has a hard time running 4 monitors

Sounds like if you need 8 monitors, you need a new computer as well.

DMS59 connectors.

Splittable, so 4 per card.

vram is neglectable for most non rendering or gaming uses ( for desktop use it's ok.)

he just wants to brag about his Titan XP 4K setup.....

 

EDIT: and to make it even worse, i took a look at his profile where he lists a single HP 1080p and an GTX 950.

so probably a kiddo troll.

the real question is, how much would you be willing to spend?

Judging by the fact that his profile pic is a Minecraft slime, i'd say he's definitely a kiddo troll.
