Who would have thought that an Nvidia 3080 would only support 4 displays?

The downvotes here don't bother me. There is a lot of parroted misinformation in the comment section here from people that think they can escape hardware constraints by spending more/relying on a different brand... The Precision line of workstations is widely touted here as the solution. Quadros are also mentioned as a solution but... when you pop over to the Dell website and attempt to get a Precision workstation with a 12th gen CPU or better you get pigeon holed into the 3260 Compact... which will only support configurations with a single GPU... None of the Nvidia T<whatever> nor the Quadro RTX available will support more than 4 displays. Even if we downgrade into a 10th gen cpu and hit up the Precision 5820 line... We're offered cards that top out at 4 displays. Had we gone with a Precision Workstation and a Quadro card we still would have been bitten. None of them support more than 4 displays. We'd still have to get a dual GPU system and likely would have ended up right where we are. --- So in conclusion: I'm being downvoted by a bunch of people that have the benefit of the knowledge in hindsight that i expressed in the title (many nvidia cards are capped at 4 displays regardless of outputs) and several people that are attempting to "correct" our approach without realizing that they are falling into the exact same trap we did.. but gleefully paying more for the opportunity. That's all fine. Generally speaking, people shouldn't be buying gaming pcs for work environments. That's not something I disagree with. I strongly suspect, many people here DIDN'T know about the cap.. and the suggestions to just use a different model PC/GPU that also will be capped really help highlight that. Hopefully our mistake will help someone else in the future.
