Posted by: Denver65 from Oklahoma City on 09/11/2012Just bought this card a few months ago. Installing it was easy and configuring it was even easier...after I learned it was really just splitting two screens to come up with the four total. LOL. After a few months I had an issue with one of the screens getting a red "busy" haze on it. Intially I thought it was one of the screens going bad. Come to find out that no matter which of the four screens I plugged in it did the same thing. Checked all of the connections and all was well with those. Going to try and exchange this card next weekend. I DO really like having 4 screen and this card performed flawlessly up to the afore mentioned problem.

Great value, but not simple as pie

Posted by: FourWide from CT on 04/23/2012Needed 3+ monitors on a Vista machine. Had two Quadro's working, but using two slots and Vista never liked the driver install, but it did run cleanly. So for the price and a single slot and GPU power, this looked like the perfect upgrade.
What doesn't really get explained, the card produces two displays that are double wide. The card and hardwired splitters cut the two in half, so that if you maximize in this mode, a spreadsheet (or any other app) fills two displays. There is an application in the install that I run every time I boot up, that configures each application to take up no more than one of the screens. But each pair of monitors shares one wallpaper image via stretching, but the Windows execution is four separate screens when the four way split is applied.
One other little bug, if the computer is inactive and screensavers blank out the monitors, one pair goes fully to sleep requiring me to go to the setup app, edit the connection, then cancel the edit, to wake up that port and restore video to it. I might not have this optimally configured, but it works well enough.
If people are struggling with analog VGA's, I suspect odd resolutions are causing the failure, not the outdated connectors. But one thing is for sure, Windows took a big step backwards from XP with Vista for modern display management. I know Win7 is much better, but this is a reasonable workaround for Vista upgrades if anyone is still doing that sort of thing. I'm running four contemporary Samsung widescreens with DVI out of the card, into cables that have HDMI for the monitor end.. All identical and they look and perform very nicely.

Great card

Posted by: MAUTO from Norht Miami on 03/22/2012I installed this card in 45 minutes, you should read the instructions before open the case. You need to buy DVI monitors, it won't work with old VGA monitors. I installed and configured 4 monitors, load the drivers and software, was running great 4 screens at the same time with no issues, great but not the best card, for the value, excellent.

Compatability Nightmare

Posted by: DeeferStratus from Gastonia, NC on 02/22/2012This card was great for the price. However, it took me over an hour to install/configure it. Then I ran into a HUGE problem, I have older monitors that use VGA (analog) connections and this card is not compatible, I even tried to buy the DVI to VGA adapters but still no picture. So I called the 24/7 tech support line, was on hold (let me check my call log) 1 hr, 6 mins, and 40 seconds, well ONE HR deducting the support session, if you could call it that. I was informed that my monitors are old, and I needed to, "just go get some new monitors". So, yeah, instead of paying over $500 for new monitors (bringing this excursion to well over $600), I will be taking the card back to best buy in the am. I found a NVIDIA powered lenovo card just like this one, only it supports 2 dvi, and 2 vga, for $50 more. So, just know overall this is a wonderful product, there are downsides to everything, it will always come down to one thing....What you need it for

Did not work

Posted by: BigRob21Tx from Orange Tx on 02/21/2012I needed a better video card to handle online stock charts. Having multiple charts up my current card would over heat. I seen this one bought it and installed without checking reviews on here. Shame on me. Just like the others computer would come on but no video on the monitors.

Posted by: Milo32 from Westland, MI on 02/19/2012I bought this item today, I spent a total of 4 hours trying to get this item to work on 4 monitors the monitor that needed to have a VGA Adaptor would not work as well as port 4 of the split that was also DVI. I will be taking this back in the morning and staying with ADM ATI Graphics cards as they are more stable and work customer support also picks up within 5 minutes.. The Galaxy web site as stated before is just the same information that comes in the box I mean really. Oh wait the 24/7 tech support lets talk also about that. You wait on hold for 2 hours then a tech states somthing and hangs up. Even better is that they keep pushing for you to press 1 to leave a message. Oh well I will solve my issue it just will never be with nivida or galaxy.

Expected the best but got the worst...

Posted by: BBinc from Omaha, NE on 02/13/2012I thought I was really on to something when I saw this "4 Display" video card for only $116.00 bucks. The minimum requirements are as follows: PCI-Express 2.0, 300W Power Supply, 1GB of System Memory & only 200MB on hard disk space. What a steal. Actually no. I have a brand new HP Pavilion P6000 series (model HP6610f) with an AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 635 processor, 16GB of RAM, 2TB HDD and a 500W Antec ECO-Green Power Supply. What more do I need other than simply pluggin the darn thing in to the PCI-E x16 slot? Well, I needed to take it back to Best Buy. I actually returned two new cards twice. No video when booting up the machine. No HP BIOS, nothing. I tried EVERYTHING from testing the dual DVI cables (they work) to booting to the onboard video card, installing the drivers, rebooting, switching back to the PCI video card and nothing. I even tried two brand new cards from BB and got the same results. The Galaxytech.com website only provides the same graphic 2' x 2' poster in the packaging that demonstrates how to plug the card in and push the power on button - DUH!. Common sense to install it right? Well, it took more than common sense to wipe away my tears and put my old GeForce 8400 GS back in to see my monitors work just fine. I guess I'm stuck with two monitors instead of four... SIGH
