Sorry,
Forgot to say that I purchased two mini dp to vga adapters to connect up all of my vga connections.

This is the card I bought. Of course it's out of stock.

EasyWorship won't need 2GB of video memory.
The video processor and connections on the card are more important to me.
I needed a card that I could connect everything up via vga.
Wait, that card does not have a VGA connection and only 1 DVI.

I used the NVIDIA Geforce GTX 760 on the computer I recently built for my church. It has four outputs and does a good job with foldback and anything else I throw at it.
Some of the slowness issue will be fixed with the release of 6.1.7, which will be out soon.
I don't have an AMD card that I would recommend. Our developers have specifically requested that we only recommend NVIDIA.
How much memory on that 760 card? Looks like it comes in either 2GB or 4GB.
There is also this. Makes me think AMD cards might not work so well with it

I am very interested also. With the release of EW6, I feel I need more desktop space to comfortable run it than 2009. That means I would like to add another monitor but my card only has the two outputs. One for the current monitor and one that goes to the Matrox box to do front of house and foldback.
I guess I could buy another Matrox box to split the control screen into two, but would prefer removing all Matrox boxes and using a four output video card.
EW, please let us know what you think.

Yes, I'm also still hoping to hear from EasyWorship on this. I'd be interested to know if there is a particular video card that they have successfully tested with for the pro requirements.
I've been trying to use a PC with an AMD Radeon HD 7870 installed (Passmark = 4256) at full HD resolution on 3 screens and getting 8 second refresh times.
I've also used a PC with a GeForce GTX 650 installed (Passmark = 1836) with 2 x hd screens and control screen at 1024x768 and getting sub 1 second.
It seems to me that the speed issue is not the processing power of the video card but some feature within the chip set that makes the difference. Could we have some input from Easyworship on this?

They don't test with every possible video card available. There only two GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) chipset manufacturers of consequence, NVIDIA and AMD. So they should set a baseline on performance with a model and benchmark number.
Video benchmarks can be found here: [url:39d7ngzx]http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu_list.php
The vague specification of NVIDIA GeForce GTX Surround Technology implies any GTX 500 or higher card will be acceptable. The benchmark number for a GTX 550 Ti of 1924 would be lowest acceptable.
So a video card like the NVIDIA Geforce GTX 750 with a 3275 rating would comfortably exceed the Pro requirements. As would the AMD Radeon R7 260X with a 3039 rating also comfortably surpass it.
Newegg.com has dozens of video cards that would be good enough. Finding one with four output ports that meets your needs is up to you (or your installer.)
