Hi MasterBuilder,

They switch on the card is a Bios Switch. These cards get 2 times the same bios at factory, so if you want to flash one, you don’t have to worry if it goes wrong, just put the switch to to other side and your ready to go again !
We do have some Cas Badges in the house, but you are right, we currently don’t bundle those.
I will suggest to start doing that again, see waht feedback i get

sorry about that

unfortunately we hear more “weird” issues with WIN10.
It seems that users who used the upgrade from WIN7/8 to WIN10 have more issues than those who just did a clean install of WIN10. Maybe that is worth a try …

[MST1407]

I would recommend a different setup.

Overall AMD cards are “friendlier” for use with multi monitor setups than NVidia.

Your setup will cost about 1050,- € end user price for VAG Card and MST Hubs.

If you choose 2 x Eyefinity 6 card (CGAX-7856M6) end-user price 285 * 2 = 570,- €

You might need some adapter cables (if you did not already), but still much cheaper.

This CGAX-7856M6: http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/radeon-hd-7850-eyefinity-6.html

Will generate 6 x mini-DP output on each card and can run 6 x 1080p @ 60Hz.

So with 2 cards you can run a total of 12 screens in 1080p @ 60Hz.

If you let me know the OS and screens (brand / type) I might be able to advise you also on which adapter cables you will need.

Dear club 3D.

Thank you for the reply, the card looks very good. If I would use converters from DP to VGA, how long could I then make the cable? I would need 30Meter, and will be using high quality cable for this.
I would connect the following projector:
http://www.epson.com.ph/epson_philippines/projectors/product.page?product_name=Epson_EB-X36
(10 of these running on 1024-768)
And will connect one normal 20 inch screen running 1920-1080, with 1,5 meter cable only.

Do you deliver the cards inside Thailand? Or do you know a supplier here? Else might order them in The Netherlands and ship them over myself. Thanks already

Best regards,

Hi Wesley,

 

The chance that it will go well is bigger if you would use the HDMI input on the Beamers.

A digital signal will get less signal loss than an analog signal, and they adapter cable is normally also

A bit cheaper. We never tested this with 30 meter cables, but with good cables it should be possible

To go up to 30 meters according to some info I read online.

I would advise you to test with this adapter cable:

CAC-1153 = Mini-DP to HDMI Active Adapter Cable High Quality

http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/mini-displayport-to-hdmi-active-3d-adapter-cable.html

We do not have a distributor in Thailand I am afraid.

I do have a contact in Singapore, but he is not having stock on either the VGA Card or the Adapter Cables L

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do.

Best regards,

Hi,

Thanks a lot for the input, I will order the cards from Holland and ship them over. Which converter would you suggest if I want to change DP strait to VGA? Any suggestions?

Regards,

Wesley

Hi Wesley,

 

Mini-DP to VGA Active Adapter Cable would be the CAC-1102:

Good day LiSchill,

One CSV-3202(H) USB3.0 to 4K adapter will use the full bandwidth of a USB3.0 port, when it is set to 3840 x 2160 at 30Hz. You cannot put it at 60Hz because that will not fit. 
If i am not mistaking you have 2 x USB3.0 ports on your Lenovo AIO. So you could connect 2 times a CSV-3202(H) to each of the USB3.0 ports and connect 4K screens to that as long as those screen can run 4K in 30Hz.
Connecting an MST Hub to a DP output on a USB-to-DP Graphics adapter wont help you, because you are already using up the complete bandwidth of the USB3.0 port by connecting 1 x 4K screen at 30Hz.
Having said all this, please take note of the fact that the USB Graphics devices still rely on the Grpahics Card of the system to make the Video signal available to the USB ports. We did not test with a GT820 but i would think it has limited capacity in this context. I am confident you could add 1 4K screen, not so sure about a second 4K screen, and i seriously doubt if you could add a third 4K screen. But this is just an educated guess.

Good day Looper,

Sure that should work fine. Windows OS supports MST, so no problems there.
What you need to check is how many screens you can output thru the DP out on that Dell XPS13. Most notebooks do not have a DP1.2 output and when they do they are often limited to output a maximum of 2 screens thru the DP output (plus the Notebook screen makes 3). We did not test with an XPS13, but somone at Dell should be able to get you that info if it is not in the manual.

Hi GP17,
Sorry for the delay.
It looks like the LCD panels are not recognized and therefor do not receive a signal. 
Could very well have to do with the “digital handshake” that doe snot go thru somehow.
Is it possible to install drivers of those LCD Panels on the system, perhaps that will help
recognition …

very welcome

Hi Megaman73,

Your question was answered thru our support email.

Thanks

[MST1407]

wat PSU do you have and what is the rest of your configuration ?

[MST1407]

Hi Archangel71,

Do i understand correctly that you want to connect 2 screens thru DVI-D and 1 thru HDMI ?
(The VGA Crad support native 4 screens so that should not be a problem)
To make sure Windows Update is not the cause of the problem …
Please make sure the Bios of your mainboard is updated. Then run all available windows updates, make sure to also update the Microsoft .NET Frameworks which is often optional.
Than boot pc in safe mode (by pressing the F8 key at boot), remove all Graphics related software, in your case most probable the Catalist software and driver. In safe mode the system can also clear the registry that is important. When your done, reboot the system in normal mode and windows will suggest to install driver for your VGA, just click that away and go for the latest available driver download to: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
When software is the cause of your problem, the above should fix it.

Hi Gziele,

GOU speed 1050 is indeed a bit higher than the specs we have online, but sometimes when it is safe we like to provide a bit more 🙂 Memory speed is “normal”.
Artifacts are usually caused by memory or software. When your graphics card runs well thru a Furmark and 3DMark test, the chance that the Graphics board is the cause of your problems is extremely small. Sometimes something as simple as a Windows Update can cause strange issues. 
Software:
Please make sure the Bios of your mainboard is updated. Then run all available windows updates, make sure to also update the Microsoft .NET Frameworks which is often optional.
And you can boot pc in safe mode (by pressing the F8 key at boot), than remove all Graphics related software, in your case most probable the Catalist software and driver. In safe mode the system can also clear the registry that is important. When your done, reboot the system in normal mode and windows will suggest ot install driver for your VGA, just click that away and go for the latest available driver download to: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download
When software is the cause of your problem, the above should fix it. 

Hardware:
When you have more than 1 internal memory modules, please try the system running on just one and/or the other to see if that has any effect.

Best regards,

Marcel

Good day Mercato353,

I cannot comment on commend on the cables you have since we do not have experience with them.
Connecting 6 screens in 1080p @ 60Hz thru HDMI to a CGAX-7856M6 should not be a problem.
Please check if the hardware functions correctly
Screens, just swop cable from 5th to 6th screen
Cables, just swop 6th cable for 5th cable
Ports on VGA Card, just swop cable from port 5 to 6
Make sure Windows (vista or newer) and Bios of the mainboard are updated.

If all hardware functions correctly, then i do believe you will need at least one cable with higher quality than you have now. Most probably there is a problem with the “digital handshake” which is why windows does see it but refuses to activate it. Again i cannot really judge the cables you have now because we did not test them. But since you have 5 screens working i am confident that 1 * CAC-1153 would do the “trick”.
We of course did test extensively with our CAC+1153 and CAC-1101 cables and we found that when connecting 6 screens, using 2 x CAC-1101 and 4 * CAC-1153 work the best.

Best regards

Marcel
