dan99t Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I have put together 12 monitor system & everything seems to be working fine except I need help detecting & identifying & managing 12 monitors & get them to do what I built it for. I have built this system for stock market trading & I will be running a main application that has 12 windows which I can detach & put each of them on a separate monitor. I am running windows-7 ( 64 bit ) & other specs are as follows. It is a Dell Workstation T -7500 which I upgraded with Custom Graphics cards to do necessary tasks. Intel Xeon E5645 @ 2.4 GHz It has 3 ATI FirePro 2460 Video cards each of them have 4 output ports & thus handles 12 monitors in total. I2 GB DRR3 ECC RAM 12 Identical Dell ( U2412M ) 24 inch monitors ( 1920X1200 ) Here is what I have now & what I would like it to do. I have arranged 12 monitors in two rows of six each. Windows-7 identifies 12 monitors but labels only 10 monitors with numbers 1 to 10 & shows two monitors without numbers in display property. ( See attachment ) They are given random 12 numbers in each row & I can?t rearrange them starting with number one in bottom right corner & number 12 in Top right corner. I am having trouble locating mouse in each monitor. I would like to point the mouse cursor in any monitor at will which I can?t do now. I would like to detach & drag 12 windows from main application to the desired monitor. I am willing to Buy any special multi monitor software if you guys know that can do the job. Thanks much in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CG-88 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 http://sites.amd.com.../downloads.aspx boom, link for download. http://support.amd.c...remultiple.aspx Catagory B for setting up multiple monitors. I assume it will just be the same for 16 as there would be for 4 etc Also are all monitors the same with same resolutions etc?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pootis Spencer Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Funny I came across this thread because I am trying to do the same thing myself with a 10 monitor setup. My question is are there any other cheaper graphics cards that have 4 outputs? I don't need them to be powerful because I am only running a presentation in powerpoint.

CG-88 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 Based on the screenshots of the control centre it looks super easy to setup if all monitors are the same. Although tbh, I dont understand why all the monitors arent sitting side by side on the windows monitor setup if they are all teh same size and res. weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiris Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 12 seems overkill but I still want to see pics of this setup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
