Dear Killmore, thank you for contacting us. Do you have information about the card and cable you are using? Please note that HDMI is a digital connection and VGA is analog. You can connect a VGA monitor to an HDMI output but you would need an active adapter cable which converts your digital HDMI signal to analog VGA signal. Our CAC-1300 is an excellent choice: http://club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/hdmi-to-vga-adapter-cable.html
Dear Branpute, thank you for your question. It’s a very interesting setup you are running and a very specific issue you encounter. We will check with the technical team if this is a known issue and if there are any workarounds available. Will update you as soon as possible.
Dear Thujan, your card was received on the 28th in Toronto. According to our RMA department a confirmation was sent by email but I understand you have not received it?
The card will be returned this week. As soon as I get more detailed information I will update you.
Dear jpe, thank you for your additional information.
It’s hard to judge from the info about your setup but it seems the combination of a DP and DVI monitor connected to the hub may cause the issue. Is it possible to connect the Dell panel with a DVI adapter to the MST Hub like the Samsung panel to see if that makes any difference? Thanks!
Dear Harmar, thank you for your question and Branpute thank you for creating the diagram!
Do you have more information about the monitors you are using and HDMI splitter you intend to use? The max number of monitors you can use is limited by the bandwidth of the DP output which allows for example 3x 1920x1200p monitors at 60 Hz.
That being said, we have not tested a setup as pictured above ourselves so we can’t tell for sure if it works. It will likely exceed the bandwidth first though.
Congrats! We got your mail and will make sure to send you the prize ASAP.
Hi dpoverlord, welcome to our forum! Impressive setup you’re running there, at Club 3D we’re big fans of multi monitor gaming but of course we prefer an AMD Crossfire solution.
In reply to your question, no, hooking up an MST Hub to a console doesn´t give you enough GPU power to run your huge 6400x 2560 resolution. The current PS4 and XB1 pack just enough punch to deliver playable framerates in 1080p resolution, they are not designed to go beyond that. Keep in mind that those consoles can be compared to a mid range gaming card, somewhere between R7 260X and R9 270X. So even if you run a ‘light’ title and your console would feature a DP output, you won’t be able to power all those pixels you have there.
That’s why PC Gaming is miles ahead of any current (and upcoming) console!
Do I understand correctly that you were running a pair of Titans in SLI which both died? That would be a small disaster for your wallet!
If you are looking for an affordable replacement, consider a pair of Club 3D R9 290 royalAce cards in Crossfire. Two of those will cost you around half of one Titan (!!) and will offer roughly similar performance. They currently offer the highest performance ever at this price point.

Hi BigBoss, thank you for ordering the card. Please note that our cards ship without cables in the box. Reason for that is the large variety of inputs on display devices. We do offer a range of high quality cables for the best connection to any monitor.
