Hi all,

I'm building tonymacx86's CustoMac Pro - ideally for editing etc, as I plan on making a YouTube channel this year/towards the end of.

BUT, I have a quad screen setup currently, and I'd ideally like to NOT change my monitors as I've grown to them now. I'm happy to drop down to a dual setup, but would ideally like to stay at quad. The monitors have a DVI/VGA and a HDMI port, no display port.

This is the preferred graphics card from the build

Is there a graphics card that could either of the following:
2 HDMI ports, 2 VGA/DVI ports?
4 HDMI ports

Or something that would allow me to utilise two screens, or at the least 2 HDMI ports so I could run the same resolution on both screens?

Thank you in advance!

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IGQ4UX8/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 is listed in the Buyer's Guide and has dual HDMI/dual DVI. May be what you are looking for.
 
Actually you can consider going with some displayport to HDMI:

HDMI as far as I know don't support 4k or any of that as well as display port, so there is a reason that the manufacturers mainly chose display port on the cards.

Thank you to both of you for your responses, would me buying 3 of these and using the standard HDMI lead allow me to run a quad monitor setup on the original graphics card?
 
I am pretty sure
