nVidia GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL 256MB AGP 8X Question

Since this card is a dual link DVI-D card, is it possible to split the output of each DVI Connector to drive two monitors per connection?

The nVidia Quadro cards had this ability.

My goal is to get to four 22" widescreen LCD monitors on one G5 Dual 2.0

Thanks.

If you can find a DVI spliter cable, I assume it is possible.

Well, at this point I'm assuming that the same splitters used on the Quadro would work.

I'm investigating now.

Actually they aren't the same. They look the same, but are in fact different. I use a Quadro at work in my Dell.

Yeah, I'm noticing that the Quadro splitter have more pins on the card end of the splitter.

But, I'm going to order one of these to test. It's cheap enough, and who knows maybe the 6800 will recognize it as a dual link connection and magic will happen.

Cheap Splitter

That could work. My assumption would be that you would simply get a 4 monitor view of your current desktop.

Well, I'm currently running 2 displays, on the card so I have a 3360 X 1050 desktop.

My goal is to get to 3360 X 2100.

You're probably right that by splitting the output of each DVI connector to two monitors will give me two monitors mirroring each other X two monitors mirroring each other.

This has gotten frustrating at this point.

I simply want 1 desktop spread cross 4 monitors. I've done it on plenty of non-macs. It shouldn't be this difficult.
