Can I run 2 of these cards to get 8 monitors and will they work with Win8?

I should be possible, the best would be contact the support line and check with them directly.

Rob I the specs say "supports 2 monitors." This is really great card for the prize and based on many comparisons I made. Look at the specs at visiontek.. you may want to call visiontek to double check on the monitor capability but I do not believe it will support 3 monitors. If you end up buying this buy it from Amazon. Reason is I had a problem on a return to visiontek on another card. they are a bit hard nosed. Check my Amazon review on a different visiontek card I purchased and exchanged. Amazon took care of it. Not sure how much expertise you have with computers but if it is an older one the motherboard may not handle it. so check the mobo also. Good luck.

To be totally honest, I have no idea. The only things I have setup are a 19" monitor and a 32" TV - for which this card runs wonderfully. I don't see why the card CAN'T handle 3 or 4 monitors, but it probably depends on what your operating system can handle.

I built a new computer exactly one year ago and installed this card along with the Windows 8 operating system and it has worked perfectly.I'm running three monitors on three of the four ports. Go for it!

You need to be running a supported version of Windows Server or other OS that will let you use both cards at same time i.e. teaming as I described in my review. For some unexplained reason doesn't work with Windows 8.1 though.

This card can easily support two monitors using any two of its outputs. With DisplayPort cabling you can run up to 6 I believe.

This card is working for me with no issues in Win8, though I use it for music. Your cable will need to be IEEE 1394 6pin to 4pin and of course you'll need a program to handle the video.

Hi, Yes you can. This unit has DVI, VGA and HDMI ports to plug in your monitors and Windows 8 supports multiple monitors.Thanks, PCrush

I wish I knew. I couldn't afford more than one. I do know that I was NOT able to put a 2nd card in to move the number of monitors to 8 total. My mother board would allow me to put more than 1 card in if the second card was not this vision tek card. My point being it wasn't a limitation of the motherboard.

Works just fine with 7, can't see any reason why this motherboard wouldn't be compatible with windows 8. Just make sure that if you get a higher end GPU with a large cooler or add on your own aftermarket cooler, you end up losing the pcie2 slot.

I have this with two monitors connected to it, running Win8.1 without any issues. Automatically found and installed updated drivers too.

I don't know if this card is supported in Win8....this is a pretty old card. There are so many more available in that price range that support Win8 x64. Here is one: http://amzn.com/B000HDKVDQ Good luck!
