So, after some discussion of our new control workstations, we are iterating in on a solution; we are looking at a 1U short-depth SuperMicro SuperServer 5017R-MF with a graphics card in the PCI-Ex16 expansion slot. However, the display requirements have increased to 3 or more
monitors
for future expansion, so I was wondering whether anyone had any experience with triple- or quad-display single card solutions. Thus far, I have found two promising solutions:
NVidia NVS 510 or 450
I have an nVidia 510 in a Dell Optiplex 9010, small form factor computer using CentOS 6.4. It works well with the standard nouveau driver.
Or you can use the proprietary, which builds nicely. <snip>
However, I like the NVS 510 and I'll use them in the future.
Is the NVS 450 card one or two GPUs? If two, you'll have two video cards and you'll probably have to stitch the monitors together with xinerama.
I wouldn't - try either the nVidia control panel, or xrandr.
