Hey all,
In the future I have a gig coming up where I'll be required to output 5 or 6 displays from my computer. In the past I have had issues with a limitation on the maximum extension of my desktop (for multiple displays). I have successfully outputted from 4 projectors before, but I have found when plugging in a 5th my Window's display configuration blacks out the 5th output and won't allow it. I have read that GPU's have limitations on maximum extended desktop sizes. As far as processing power, my computer could handle several more displays with a good frame rate if the limitation was not there.
I am looking to understand more about where this extended desktop limitation is coming from, if I can configure it to work with my existing gear (something I'm missing), or what I would need to purchase to successfully connect the 6 displays. I am also curious if my Matrox Triple-Head increases the maximum extended desktop size past my computer's capabilities or just makes use of it.
I have a GTX-980 with 3 Displayport Outs and 1 HDMI out. I connect my computer monitor via a separate DVI. I have one Matrox Triple-Head. As you can see, I have sufficient outputs - but my computer will not allow any more then 4 projector outputs (plus my monitor).
Thanks !
