Hey CF
I'm looking for the cheapest solution to power two 4K monitors.
It doesn't really matter if they run at 30 or 60Hz, since it's purely for work. No gaming will ever be done on these machines.
The base system looks like this:
I assume I need two displayports on the GPU?
I looked in to a DP hub, but it seems like max resolution is 5760x1080 - which is not enough for 2x 3840x2160.
Silence is a big factor, so if there's a passively cooled 5450 with dual DPs out there I can't find, please let me know
[Edit] I see now that HDMI can run 4K at 30Hz too.
Maybe this Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti is capable? Dual HDMI
[Edit2] Motherboard has HDMI and DP.
This is info from onboard GPU (HD 4600)
But it doesn't state whether it can run 4K on DP and HDMI simultaneously, and the forward slash in between worries me
