Thread: Best video card(s) for Quad monitor support

-

hey there, have 2 nvidia 560's both dual monitor. of might know, seems way run 4 monitor setup run each pair of monitors own twinview, stitch them using xinerama. creates 2 large "screens" each span 2 monitors. unfortunately, xinerama old , outdated. , around time ubuntu 11.04 came out, bundled update xorg caused loose support quad monitors using nvidia , xinerama without use of convoluted hack/patch job. support has once again returned, it's huge hassle working, , every time breaks or upgrade, seems have start on again. and, buy using xenerama, loose of os eyecandy can running 2 monitors.

tired of this... sadly, 1 feature "just works" windows, , causes me *almost* want go windows...

ok, onto question. there video cards out there assist in making quad monitor setup bit easier? i've heard whispers ati has better linux support multi-monitor. has seen case? have heard buying single quad+ monitor video card work better ubuntu.

problem having either option (buying 2 equiv. ati graphic cards or buying 4 or more monitor video card) looking $200+ investment. honestly, if means getting of working, willing make investment @ point. not want spend money if going marginally better current setup.

so, bet video card(s) buy support 4 or more monitor setup?

i know too. xinerama on 4 monitors (2xnvidia) slow.
