i am want to buy this graphic card to build wo5 system with six outputs:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121430

i need to use 2 vga outputs using active Dp-->vga converter

and 4 outputs to dvi using active Dp---> dvi

 

is it possible to mix the outpus?

and what the limit ?

 

another question is if i am using the graphic card i mention above i can conect 4 outpus:

1-vga with dvi--->vga

3- Dp--->vga (active).

i have wo4 with 4 projectors using vga and i want to upgrade.

 

thanks.

Is this card still available? Says "Discontinued"...

This one is similar, but available:

They should behave the same, though.

Yes, they can, with the proper adapter. Like these, only we've found.

We have tested with 6 1920x1080/60p VGA outputs simultaneously.

 

MiniDP - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003HC85D2/ref=ox_ya_os_product

DP - http://www.amazon.com/Accell-UltraAV-B101B-003B-Display-Adapter/dp/B003HC85D2/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1345219671&sr=1-1

With that card?

4 over active DisplayPort->VGA-adapter + 1 over DVI with passive DVI->VGA adapter.

Yes. As long as all outputs are at same resolution and refresh-rate.

Your options, choosing VGA:

- VGA-cable copper

- Cat5-VGA extender

 

DVI is to be preferred.

 

 

> my resolution wil be 800x1280

I trust you mean 1280x800? Rotation is done in WATCHOUT.

 

 

 

> and last question what is the longest dvi cable i can use(in meters)?

This totally depends on resolution used. Lower res = longer cable possible.

 

1080p - With copper (and GOOD quality cable) - approx. 23 m

1080p - With Cat5 extenders ( of GOOD quality) - approx. 50-60m

1080p - With FibreOptic extenders ( of GOOD quality) - 50m up to km:s

Testing and verifying is essential!

 

You might need EDID-managers on all outputs, for a stable setup.
