- AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 Single Slot Video Graphics Card for PC 256-Bit DirectX 12, 75W Bus Power, PCI Express X16 3.0, 6 mini DisplayPort

I was previously using dual AMD Fire pros. During the hurricane lost my other system and had to put something together on a budget. I was able to source a refurbished system that had the processor and memory I was looking for, but only an onboard video option. In my profession, I am constantly remotely connecting to other systems and like the ability of spreading the tasks across multiple monitors. This card is of only a few I found at this price point that would support more than four displays. Most of the other options contain mixed video interfaces. I like the fact that this card has six mini display ports with a thumb screw option. It keeps everything nice and tight and the stress off of the smaller connectors. I was concerned that the overall memory of the card would not be enough to satisfy my needs however, I have been quite impressed with its abilities so far. I currently utilize four of the monitors in a working sense while the other two are dedicated to my Email client and video surveillance. Anyone who has ever used an email client knows what memory hogs they are, but are nothing compared to surveillance displays. This card chugs right along and is able to open additional task windows from various programs simultaneously across the four working screens and a quick and snappy manner. They are significantly faster than my previous set up which combined carried six times more total memory (12). I have been highly impressed with this card for production and monitoring of tasks. This is not for gaming by any means but more of a workstation card. If you are on the fence about purchasing this, I hope my experience helps lead to your final decision

I did A LOT of research and this was my final card of choice. Needed a video card to have a 6 monitor set up. So far I have hooked up 2 monitors. Will add 2 more tomorrow and last 2 in the near future. I am amazed by how quickly it was up and running (truly plug and play). I couldn't believe how quickly I had the two monitors running. I installed the cd that came with it, plugged in the video card, restarted and that was it....It did not require its own power input which was such a surprise but great news. One less thing to worry about. It is installed on a Dell Optiplex gx280!! with 1gb ram and 3.0 ghz processor. So this is quite remarkable. XP found a driver after I started but I reinstalled the drive that came with it again (just in case). I bought "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Female Adaptor for Mac" because I wanted monitors with only VGA input (or vga as primary display input). There are cables that come with it but for me buying an hdmi to vga was the easiest route. If you need high quality graphics you should purchase "active" adapters. This card has 2GB ram so it's not flimsy by any means. Bought monitors 10-25 bucks on craigslist and needed simple (chrome and office) tasks. Steps. 1. install driver that comes with it on cd 2. shutdown computer, unplug power, press power button to clear charge (IMPORTANT before you touch inside of a computer) 3. install the video card on the pciex16 slot 4. hook up monitors 5. restart Note: Seems like the autorun feature installs driver for windows xp. On the CD however there's a separate setup.exe in the Drivers>Windows7... folder, which you will need to install if you have something other than Windows XP. Initially following the steps above everything worked great but after upgrading to windows 7 and installing the driver that came on the cd I noticed that my 2 monitors only showed up 1 single display on "display settings" (may not make sense but they do lol). Then I noticed that there's an additional folder for a later release of windows on the CD. Note: that the internal graphics card didn't work after I installed the new video card. Theoretically you should be able to have multiple video cards. By the time I got the idea I had already installed windows 7 and the latest update on dell for the internal graphics card on a gx280 (not surprisingly) would only install on windows xp. So if you really need 7 monitors, it seems possible, you'll just have to make sure that the latest driver for the internal graphics card (or dedicated) has an update for the OS you have installed. An XP graphics card driver won't install on a later OS. Note, my gx280 is a small form factor so the bottom of the the card bracket (the silver metal up front) wouldn't let the video card fully plug into the pciex 16 slot fully, but I made an adjustment and it's good now. Note, that you will NOT be able to close the case with this video card inside in a small factor computer (at least the gx280) because it's too tall. 30% of the graphics card sticks out. I'm only using the gx280 as a testing ground to evaluate up-scaling. So I recommend you purchase a full tower or desktop with ample space.

I actually got 2 of these cards after I found a lot of cheap 15" LCD monitors and a few multi-monitor mounts to complete my ridiculous office computer system. I don't really do a lot of heavy gaming but you should see how many news channels I can watch at once while most of them lie to me about whats going on in the world and now I take having too many browser tabs open to an unholy level. ;) I'm not sure why I haven't seen any improvement whatsoever from using the CrossFire jumper ribbon in all my tests I've done, but I've tried everything just to get all the monitors to work properly in the first place (also after an ABSURD investment in mini-DisplayPort adapter cables). The cards work ok, but getting all 6 monitors to work off a single card has been PAINSTAKING. I'll try to include a few of the most important details of my expensive and tedious (albeit SUCCESSFUL) venture in getting over 9 monitors to work off of one single system (my previous record was 8, using 3 display adapters) Pro Tip: I finally decided to just go with "straight cables" that are mini-DP on one end, and a mix of VGA, DVI and HDMI for the other end which match whatever my monitors have. This kept me from constantly ordering, testing and returning all the gizmos and doodads that are "PASSIVE" and not "ACTIVE", since a lot of sellers seem to deliberately leave out whether the adapter devices they sell are PASSIVE or ACTIVE. For a single card setup: I noticed that I could not put 6 "digital" outputs on a single card, nor could I put 6 "analog" outputs on a single card. This basically means that if you want to get ALL 6 displays to work on a single card, 2 of them needed to be "analog", which (for ME anyway) means VGA inputs are needed on at least 2 monitors. I got lucky and had a few monitors I picked up in the lot that had both VGA & DVI inputs (Note: I don't have a DP input for any of my monitors, but it might was in "analog mode". Maybe. YMVV.) but I also have a large HDMI monitor I use for "presentation" of videos and such (A super old and heavy Plasma TV). After experimenting with different configurations of which ports connected to which monitors worked or didn't work, I was FINALLY able to get all 6 monitors working on a single card. I was as scientific as possible in my experimenting of how to get it all working and debug my issues, but it wasn't a fully equipped computer lab. I had a bunch of leftover cables and connectors I'd acquired over the years but I didn't have any mini-DP cables, so I used some of the little adapters that came with the card to test out certain configurations with my limited count of VGA-to-VGA, DVI-to-DVI, DVI-to-VGA adapters & cables, and DVI to HDMI adapters & cables... I used to be "that computer guy" that people ask for odd cables and the like from, but now I just keep it all in 2 storage bins in a closet. I'm more equipped than most people in this regard, but I don't have it all. Maybe having a mix with more DisplayPort monitors would work fine too, but those tend to be pricey and you won't find a cheap lot of them used anytime soon. I apparently spent all the money on cables and bargain bin monitors. RECOMMENDATION For 2 of these cards together (7+ monitors): For my experience, I noticed that installing one card at a time is the way to go. DO NOT try to just install 2 cards and hook up every monitor to them, flip the switch and hope Windows will take care of it all for you! It will not... After about 10 total hours of FIGHTING with it in various ways, losing some use of monitors and trying to fiddle with settings and drivers to get them all back, only to lose other monitors when I regained the ones I originally lost... (super frustrating), I finally unhooked EVERYTHING, and started from scratch. I also too the time to LABEL my wires on BOTH ends so that I could figure out which ones work on which devices. It has made moving around the computer FAR easier as I don't have to play with settings and use process of elimination every time I move my desk. I HAD to un-seat one of the 2 of these cards I have everything Windows would automatically update the device driver. I would come home from work to find that half my monitors weren't working and try to figure out what the deal was... it was almost always because of a driver update. Eventually, I got Windows to recognize all 12 monitors on 2 of these cards too by "cheating" and plugging the monitors with more than 1 or 2 input types up to the 2 different cards to "trick" it into thinking I had more monitors than I actually did. This was a neat trick that only worked on some monitors, not others, but it helped me figure out whether I needed to try a new connector / wire / adapter / whatever if I wanted to add more monitors and cap out my walls with all the video the computer is capable of handling (muahahaha!) NOTE: The last 2 driver updates that Windows 10 performed automatically have actually gone swimmingly and I didn't have to touch a thing. THANK YOU TO THE DRIVER DEVELOPERS FOR WORKING THAT OUT! In summary, expect to have to test test test test test test test and TEST some more, LOTS of trial and error, maybe a few times ordering the wrong cables or getting a bunk "PASSIVE" adapter instead of the "ACTIVE" adapters that WORK for us with more than 2 monitors... lots of cussing... and if you don't have a labeling system for your ports on the back of the video card AND on the connector wire end plugging into it AND on the connection end of the wire/cable AND the monitor that its connecting to, YOU WILL have a BAD TIME if you try to move your desk and plug everything back in.

L'unica soluzione al momento per avere 6 schermi su una singola scheda, costa un po, il prezzo è ingiustificato per l'anzianità di questa scheda, ma al momento resta la soluzione più economica e funzionale.

tenenemos conectadas 4 pantallas i ahora nos va bien, nos costo un poco porque por defecto la VisionTek las configuraba en blanco i negro i nos pensamos que el problema era del cable, por suerte solo era cambiar la configuración del color en la app de los drivers.

6 monitores en 4k, solo hay que cambiar dos adaptadores de los incluidos para cables al monitor para que todos sean mini DP a DP

Bought the card for flight simulator and it works absolutely perfectly!

Bought the card for company system usage. Works as it was intended. Able to display 6 monitors at one go. so far ok. delivery was fast too.
