Question Graphics Card to drive *SIX* 4K monitors

I am planning to build a new AMD system (CPU: AMD 7900X, Mobo: X670E Steel Legend, 64GB RAM)

The system will drive *SEVEN* 4K displays (SIX 32” 4K monitors with DP inputs, and ONE 75” 4K TV with HDMI input)

Here are my requirements:

1) The system won’t play games, is mainly used for productivity / web browsing / financial markets trading / light video editing.
2) System should be as “low power” as possible, therefore would prefer card with low power usage
3) Hopefully looking for cheaper priced graphics card (whilst still being able to output to *SIX* 4K displays)
4) Most important is RELIABILITY, system must to be STABLE with low risk of crashes

I already understand the below:

-I will be able to drive at least one (likely two) 4K monitors directly from the iGPU in the AMD 7900X, from the DP / HDMI ports on the X670E Mobo. Therefore, the Graphics Card will need to drive the remaining *FIVE* or *SIX* 4K monitors.
-Maximum of two displays via HDMI, the rest must all use DP
-I understand that most graphics cards only have 4 outputs (3*DP, 1*HDMI), therefore I will need to purchase two MST hubs to drive 5th and 6th monitor
-Likely Radeon RX 6000 series would be a good choice, I understand they can output to a maximum of *SIX* 4K displays?


Here are my questions:

1) Is Radeon RX 6000 series best choice for my needs?
2) What is the cheapest / lowest spec RX 6000 card which is capable of driving *SIX* 4K monitors? For example, would RX 6600 be “good enough”, or would a higher spec card such as RX 6800 be needed?
3) Any other requirements which I should watch out for? For example, for graphics card memory, is 8GB enough, or would need 12/16 GB?
4) For MST hubs, any recommendations for stable, reliable, relatively low-priced model? (which can split a single DP input into two, to drive two 4K monitors)

Have you considered getting a pair of workstation cards? Something like a pair of T600/T1000/A400 would drive 4 4k each, the cards themselves are 50W TDP each, and then you don't have to much around with hubs.

It's took bad nvidia hasn't put out a replacement for the NVS810 yet.

Two cards with at least 3 DP out each would be the best but, at worse, if two cards isn't an option, you can use a DP 1.4 MST adapter like this one :


It would essentially double your display output.

Thanks for the replies. I would prefer to rely on integrated graphics as much as possible (I want system to be super stable and low power)

I was searching around on Google and saw that AM5 (Zen 4 and Zen 5) CPU integrated graphics can support a maximum of FOUR displays, can anyone confirm if this is correct? (I will likely buy either 7900X or 9900X CPU)

Of course, another problem is motherboard also needs to have enough ports to connect the displays (using integrated graphics).

I see that X870 motherboards will likely be released around 30th Sep, I would be happy to wait around until X870 release.

(No particular preference for Gigabtye, would be happy to consider any Mobo manufacturer)

I see that most Gigabyte X870 boards have 3 ports for onboard graphics: 1*HDMI (supports 4K @ 60Hz), and 2* USB4 Type-C ports, supporting DP (supports 4K @ 240Hz).

I wonder if it would be possible to use MST Hubs to connect *TWO* 4K monitors to each of the USB4 Type-C ports? If so, it might be possible to run a total of FOUR 4K monitors directly from AM5 integrated graphics?

Or if not, worst case scenario could run THREE 4K monitors directly from AM5 integrated graphics? (2 from USB Type C, 1 from HDMI)?

It is, there are several types of USB-C to dual DP adapters out there. We even have some at work that go from USB-C to a DP and a HDMI that can work together.

A note on MST adapters: they essentially split the bandwidth of the DP dataline to create several connections. Most of them are DP 1.4 (cannot find a DP 2.0 or 2.1 yet), so those with two out have a max of 4K60, while 3 or 4 have 4K30 max output when fully populated. If you are fine with 4K30 you can output 3 or 4 on a single MST adapter.
