Hi all, What would be a good (as in, relatively painless) video card for driving as many 1080p monitors as possible? I'm not concerned about 3D performance at all... It will be to display terminals/rarely-changing web pages only. I know Matrox sort of specializes in multi-monitor setups, but I can't say I've heard them recommended much.

Fedora 20, fwiw.

I'm currently running four big monitors on an ATI Radeon HD, so if you can fit three of those cards into a box, that 's 12 monitors right off the bat, and you could probably add some DP splitters to get more. I've tried a matrox card. In theory, it can drive up to 12 monitors with four triple-head-to-go adapters, but it had some driver issues that kept me from using it (mostly dealing with vlc and youtube) and they didn't officially (or actually, when I reported bugs) support the version of Fedora I was running anyway. But, if they happen to support the version of the kernel you're running, and you don't need 3D or video, they're a good choice, although multiple HD cards would probably be cheaper.
