6 Monitors, 1 GPU: World's WORST Multi-Display Gaming Setup 

Needs more monitors of wildly different sizes to be complete.

Dawid actually bought that card when it was brand new and it's just now getting to him. Crazy how he bought it for a video years before he even became a successful RU-vidr. Playing the long game, Dawid. Well done.

I remember the time i did a multi monitor setup on my grandpas Windows XP desktop and all the games ran at 15fps yet i still enjoyed myself

I love it when the crosshair is spread over a 2-inch gap :'D makes for such an epic challenge

sounds like a card for 2D use like video surveillance or system monitoring, which is probably a decent way to sell off buckets of otherwise useless ancient GPU chips

"It makes me feel a little bit like I'm a bee that's taken acid" --- Dawid, immediately selling his audience on the premise

The perfect card to run a 6 monitor CRT setup XD

This is strangely amazing. Thanks, dude. The monitors all being different models is kinda triggering though. Thanks for that too!

Too many RU-vidrs review the nicest, fanciest and most expensive stuff. I've always loved that you do the opposite. It makes for a MUCH more entertaining video. Love seeing you explode on RU-vid!

to avoid bezels in the center of view, you need to go 9 monitors!

Dawid is such an underrated tech youtuber.

What I love about your channel is the chaos that invariably follows the tech.

So glad linode is back. Been saying it without dawid for weeks now

To be honest, I kinda see this card not being that useless. I might see this being used in some industrial environment, or being a nice little surveillance multi-cam setup.

There's GN Steve mumbling Linode, and then there's Dawid bathing us in his velvety Linooooooddde.

Reminds me a lot of the setup I had at my workplace back when I worked overnight security. Having that many monitors felt pretty badass, even if they *were* old and mismatched

When i started following Dawid he had like 10k subscribers now he's almost at a half million. Still he makes content as he was doing many many years ago, testing crappy cheap stuff. Man i love this content, so stupid but so good!

This setup should've been co-sponsored by your local chiropractor & optician 😄 Surely you could've employed your trusty Vileda.

Tangentially this video helped me so much! I recently needed to get a cheap monitor for my kids and this video helped remind me to check discount electronic stores!

Hey man love the channel. Keep doing videos. It may feel like you cant keep up with the mainstream youtubers, but you are complimenting the Tech scene perfectly. Keep it up.

Its so much sweeter that the "Life's Good" logo is your crosshair in FPS's, very fitting

I’m disappointed that you didn’t find an old copy of Solitaire to have the cards bounce a ridiculous distance, always wondered if there’s a maximum screen resolution this works on.

Thanks for digging into the chips used for the VGA adaption. That was cool.

Running GTA at DX10 would've netted you a noticeable performance boost as it frees up a lot of VRAM and is also generally less intensive. It probably also helps that grass is literally non-existent with DX10 😂. It's just a green floor.

Ahhhh...the return of Linode. Hearing Dawid say Linode is like chicken soup for my soul

I'm thoroughly shocked! I was for certain thinking that you would've had like 2 to 3 dead VGA ports or if the card would actually even work at all. But I'll be damned, the darn thing works better than expected! Great work setting it all up!

I used to run a triple monitor setup with 900p monitors and loved it. When I finally upgraded, I went for an 48” OLED TV, it has all the immersion for games and you can still multitask with Powertoys FancyZones, but without the bezels.

I thought that looked like one of our mounts in the thumbnail! We're glad it worked to get your setup together for the video! Gaming on 6-monitors is questionable as you've found, but this type of setup can work very well for power-user workstations or security camera setups.

There was absolutely no need for this but Dawid delivered anyway lmao

You should give this to a computer repair warehouse so someone can actually get use from this abomination. 🤣

I cannot get enough of your videos. Your consistency with the music you use, the format, it's such a pleasant viewing experience.

Pretty sure these cards are for businesses running multiple displays like McDonald’s menu’s and grocery’s stores running a bunch register monitors and they use the ports for reliability and they don’t become unplugged as easily.

Love me some Vivo monitor arms. Easily best bang for the buck. Using 2 right now for my setup, but I've used a handful of them over the years, never had issues with them

I watch the entire Linode commercial, just to hear Dawid say "Linode".. thank you Dawid.

My favourite video of yours in a while. A great, creative and chaotic idea! Keep it up Dawid!

Man I love these crazy videos you do. So good!

Got 3x Dell S2721DGFA, love it. Took days to match the colors though, same with the 3x BenQs before it. Every time I get ips multi-screens I end up purchasing 1 too many to return 1 that can't be saved, a nasty hue or some other artifact. On TN the worst I got is a dead pixel

Can just imagine some super chad somewhere with this setup 2 inches away from the screen[s] corner camping in every FPS

For someone running triple monitor setups for ages I can tell you that I really enjoyed this video! As it turned out, using similar displays helps a lot. Btw, to get the rest of the LG´s stand off, you have to take the whole rear cover off - which in addition to its screws has around 4.2 billion plastic tabs and clips.

Like a cool breeze blowing in during a blazing summer day, Dawid has delivered me relief with abother satisfying LINODE fix!! Keep fighting the good fight!

Dawid, this was a very cool and interesting video. Ya see, THIS is why we love you bro. I never miss a video you post, good sir!

This is the greatest and most original idea I've ever seen

I like how a few days ago I was in your Discord asking about how to get more display outs so I could run a multi monitor setup with a bunch of cheap VGA monitors and now you've posted this. Really it seems like every time I have an idea for something for me to do seriously because I'm poor, a few days later you're posting a video of you doing it ironically because it'd be funny (it also happened with you gutting the Optiplex case for modern hardware except I'm putting a 5700G systen in mine as soon as I stop being lazy) and I fucking love it because it helps me figure out how to get my idea to work or if they'd even work at all without me having to spend money on shit that won't work.

Nice video showing setup multiple 6 monitors with old school style. I remember couple years a go Asus release a GT730 with a 4x port HDMI, a good value GPU for 4 monitor setup. I have 2 PC with dual monitor setup, the big one in landscape mode, the little one in portrait mode, a good setup for me, can do a mutitask appl. A lot my friend dont understand how to setup 2-3 monitor with 1 PC, and asking me how to do it. I know to setup multiple monitor since WinXP with a CRT Monitor, now with Windows 10-11, is more easy than before,

Epic. I need that. definitely for school…

Amazing setup 🤣 Thanks for the laughs, Dawid!

Your humour is just the best. And watching that i5 run completely idle when playing Dirt Rally was the icing on the cake.

god I love it when linode sponsors these it's such a satisfying word to hear time to see how the tinned card performs

Thank you Dawid for answering the questions no one has ever asked.

Interesting video. I considered having a two or monitor set up but ended up getting an ultra wide. Definitely a more immersive gaming experience and it is better than dealing with the mutliple bezels affecting the stuff being displayed.

Brilliant idea Dawid! I know it wouldn't be as entertaining but i would really love to see this done with a high quality graphics card solution and LCD panels.

Dawid I love you, I was actually laughing for like half of this video and no content makes me do that😂😂‼️ keep up the grind

Would you be able to use another video card to drive graphics and just output through that card? I may be wrong but I think it could be done in windows

Our school still has those vga ports on every pc/monitor/laptop. The worst thing is that the screens are 1:1 aspect ratio 🤣

Your channel is so charming. I could (and sometimes do) watch it for hours.

Love how the wanted rating is all on its own in the upper right corner monitor :)

Dawid literally has the most entertaining tech content

I'm triggered by the port "spines" along the Triceratops' back. Can't you just have used a Stegosaurus like everyone else, Dawid?!

Dawid really makes some amazingly funny content, keep it up!

Everytime I watch your videos I laugh at least 4 times. I love the geek humor. it warms my heart that other people in the world have a similar level of humor, big ups +1. .

You come up with some of the wackiest shit. I love it. Another great video filled with snark and humor. Pretty impressed with that graphics card, didn't think it would even handle 3 monitors, let alone 6.

Man, just keep buying monitors and monitor-arms, and a couple more R7 350's, and you could probably create a VR setup *inside* it...

Hi Dawid, I just wanted to say, I think you have the best tech channels out there, I watch almost every single video. I love the sarcasm and general sense of humor. It really brings a lot to my day, every day. Thank you for making and keeping your channel.

Lol my first multiscreen setup was with CRT's, think I had 3 NEC multisyncs 19" which were thrown away at a company I interned at. Just getting them home was a chore... Then I needed to reinforce my Ikea desk... Also luckily I had a 80cm deep desk and it was off the wall a bit so I had more space left then I first thought. However driving these screens was a whole different story. I can't exactly recall what GPU's I had but gaming was limited to just 2 back then. Windows desktop worked fine. Now I got 27"+34"+27" Samsung screens and I love it. RPG's are amazing however the switching around with the Nvidia screen stuff is annoying though.

More monitor outputs = more betterer Therefore this videocard is better than a 3090

Already just by looking at that thumbnail, you should have used 9 monitors, its the same way you use 3 instead of 2 to have only 1 monitor as the centre unit

The GCN cards in general run quite well. I have a simlar R7 360 running inmy HTPC and it has no problems with anything I put to it. Using a n Athlon II X4 640 w 8 GB DDR1600 and a bunch of local drives for storage. The card runs about 40C and the CPU runs about 30C so neither is heat producing oven.

I've gotten so used to hearing the deep voice ASMR Sponsor that every time Dawid gets sponsored by anyone else it feels wrong

Dawid's content is legendary because of the brilliant sarcasm. Love it :D

I suffered that horrible six monitor Amazon stand for a month before I dumped it in favour of 3 separate dual monitor cantilever stands. I've always wondered what it would be like to have all 6 monitors connected to 1 pc, now thanks to you I know I'm not missing anything.

4:54 I blame the display port to Mesozoic Era converter. VGA still looks crystal clear on my old 1366x768 Vizio TV from 2011.

I think there is still use for a 6 port vga graphics card. For example in a 112 emergencycsllcenter where they have to have everything possible on sight. And of course in a securitycamera monitor room

I had a 2 screen setup in like 2005 but the Dell monitors had bezels so wide it was just a big black bar in the middle

So much sketch and jank. Bravo Dawid, farking excellent work.

I remember the days when Matrox's selling point was that it offered 3 video outs instead of 2 like everyone else! Man, but this one takes the cake. This is definitely used for the specialized use case of a single DVR to output to 6 surveillance TVs or perhaps even 6 digital signage displays where it really doesn't matter how sharp the image is. Thanks for sharing and going into all the trouble of actually building a multimonitor setup to try gaming on this. XD

I kinda spoiled myself years ago by starting to use a 40" monitor for my center display, I REALLY like that. For a long time I did dual, but upgraded to triple display (two 24" monitors right now). Its nice having one large central monitor to display the main thing you are working on and of course extra monitors allow you to multi-task very well. I've been waiting for a very good 4k 120/144hz monitor with great response times that is 40" to replace the main monitor... as well as for computer parts pricing to go back down to rational to get a graphics card to push that because right now my aging hardware wouldn't be able to push 4k good enough to bother.

Some of most entertaining content out there !

As someone that enjoys multi-monitor gaming this gave me a good laugh, heck I even had some of those LG flatrons you had on the top row, good times. Currently rocking 3 matched Dell 24" 1080p 144hz monitors paired with an RTX 3090, it's a lovely experience though I do wish I had smaller bezels.

The joy you get from some of these madness me lol every time. 👍😀

I did some quick research, and to make it short, it seems that the card's use is for camera monitoring for security booths

This was great! Keep em coming!

10:05 I'm sitting here lmao the way you call that piece a "dangler"

You know when you need somehting but didn't know until you get it? That was this video for me right now. OMG Franklin's flippin head had me dieing lol

ive got that monitor holder with just 2 screens, because it was dirt cheap. Found abit of lock tight in the threads sorted 90% of the bad parts of it.

Your videos always put me in a good mood and give me a heck of a laugh . I love your channel never change.

I had to pause the video to tell you that this might be one of the most creative ideas for a video I have seen. Well done.

You always provide a intresting content to watch and i really appreciate it. And the way you script your videos and name the stuff (eg. loser nitro suck face) is really hilarious 😂😂😂. Keep it up man!

The split crosshairs, BEZELS, and multiple VGA octopus gives me so much pain not even a good "Linoooodddee" can soothe it.

My local Tech shop has one of these and a local Bar Perfect to display menues and fotball/hokey

oddly i have used those LG monitors before, to get the stand part off you actually have to take off the plastic back.

I'm honestly kinda shocked that the games ran as well as they did... and the flying section in GTA looked really awesome. Novelty for gaming, sure, but it's cool that someone is repurposing these GPUs for something different. Dope vid! Thanks for all the hard work you put into these.

6:22 that hp monitor is the same monitor im using as my secondary monitor and i understand your point completely.

A very good usecase for such a graphics card would be a multiseat environment under linux. And VGA is quite useful for CRT monitors which can deliver quite a nice image compared to many older flat screens. Though it would be interresting if the card supports more than 60 hz and interlacing

Those 2 flatron LGs are really similar compared to my Flatron E1942C-BN, but they have DVI too.

we took 6 identicle panels and removed the plastic shell and created a holder for them out of wood so we could make 1 big 6 panel display, you could barely make out the lines if you blurred your eyes. i didnt get to keep it cause obvious reasons but i heard its still being used at the jobsite.

I have a couple of those LG monitors. I've been trying to give them away for ages. Thought I'd got rid of one last week but couldn't find my stash of VGA cables. Anyway, think you should rip the bezels off and try to get the actual panels closer.

You need to do this with a NVS 810 it has 8 mini-DP outputs and it has twice the vram so it might be usable

I work off of 3 main monitors 2 * 32 inch and one 24 inch powered by a windows 10 (work only switched from xp 2 years ago!). I also have a 24 inch touch screen powering a desk phone run off of a vista machine so can attest for the different colours on different monitors. Would be interesting to see a dvi or hdmi version of this but good to see that old card able to handle 6 svga monitors, even though this definitely was not meant to be used for gaming the card equipped itself well. Wonder if you can get 6 of the same monitors and see if that makes any difference?

Buddy of mine worked on a six monitor set up for CSX Railroad. Used to run switch and navigation automation remotely. This was like more than 10 years ago. Probably used something like this. All the programs were low resource and old Linux coded.

The r7 350 was my first gaming GPU. It was inside my Optiplex 360 with 4gb or ram and a q6700. Course mine didn’t have 6 VGA ports. I was wowed with the performance coming from my AMD A6-5200 laptop.
