Graphic Cards Low Profile

Recommended Posts

Hello,

Has anyone used a low profile graphic card that will work with 4 outputs? Preferably mini display outputs. We are still projecting at 1024x768. I have Dell's Vostro 220s Slim Tower and we want to use WO 5 with these computers, but only has the low profile graphic slots. It is a dual core 2.6 ghz with 2 gig of ram, which I am going to upgrade to 4 gigs.

Thanks,

Brent

Hi,

 

I would recommend against using 4 outputs, for WATCHOUT use, on a Core2 Duo machine.

There are, to my knowledge, no capable low-profile 4 output graphic cards available.

Even at 4 times 1024x768 resolution, graphic card, HDD & processor capacity,

will be a severely limiting factor in this case, I believe.

 

Nothing stops you from trying, though.

I found this card today. Do you think it would work. I know it hasn't been tested but is it worth a shot. Not sure if the included adaptors are active or passive. It looks like it would work in a low profile graphic slot.

From this thread: http://dataton.com/forum/topic/93-wo5-multi-output/

 

"NVidia NVS series will not do, they lack sufficient DirectX/Direct3D hardware acceleration for WATCHOUT-use.

Same thing with AMD FireMV and Matrox M91xx-series."

 

If this still holds for this Kepler-based card or not, I don't know, but this is but one of the

components critical for a stable 4-output playback.

 

A processor with only 2 cores and no SSD, will most likely affect playback.

Windows 7 is a pre-requisite for multi-output.

 

Feel free to try it, though.
