VisionTek Radeon 7870 is specifically meant for this, but it's a rare item. edit: They have other models
Another one is Nvidia NVS 810, but that's pricy.
Also Matrox C680 PCIe x16
(Excluding the "USB(TypeA) Display Adapter" option first since they don't meet my expectation for daily usage.)
So far as I know, from hardware perspective:
For nVidia system: 2+ cards is the only option, SLI/non-SLI both works. (I haven't verified that if integrate display help braking limitation of 4 display on nV GPU, I assume it doesn't.)
For AMD system: 7750 cards works out of the box by providing 6 miniDP. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C7EPSVS/ . For any later cards, extending DisplayPort with MST hub or DaisyChaining is required (therefore it doesn't work on Mac since macOS driver doesn't support MST at all). (And I haven't verified if integrated display or 2+ cards does help.)
Still trying to clarify any possible solution and detail.
Something like this isn't the fastest, but you're probably not running anything super visually intensive, so for sheer quantity of simple 4k display outs, this will run 4 monitors per card- https://www.amazon.com/VisionTek-Radeon-7750-GDDR5-MiniDP/dp/B00C7EPSVS
I guess some old AMD GPU with 6 miniDP ports should be good? Find a 7750 with lots of miniDP ports, should be 50$ max
This is the thing you are looking for, ignore the price as you can find much cheaper ones
Not sure if this helps you here, just funny timing- I was looking the other day for a modestly priced 2x miniDP card to replace my overkill 4x miniDP card and found this bizarre creation
6x miniDP, 4k. I was wondering who on earth would think to use six displays (my max was 4, plus a tiny repurposed retina display and I thought that was nuts!)
Can’t tell you if this card is any good (or compatible with your system) but theoretically it could completely replace the current card, assuming Dell didn’t silicon it or solder it into place!
By the way- when dealing with prebuilt machines- if you run into silly artificial limitations- like metal bars blocking a slot, or something- there are PCI3 x16 extension ribbons, as well as PCI risers, in case you weren’t aware. A good quality x16 extension will cost you $20-$60 depending on the length, but it can get you out of a tough situation if you can’t move things inside your case. A riser will flip the PCI slot 90 degrees. They can be used together to find some creative solutions, just keep in mind there are length limitations and you really need to get the best quality or you’re going to have a bad time
Everything suggested creates multiple points of failure. You want a single desktop with an i5/7, 12gb ram, and two pcie slots with FIRE PRO amd cards in them. Run HDMI through the wall to cheap TVs on rack mounts. EZ.
Something like this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C7EPSVS not necessarily this make model.
Three or four GPUs are all you need. There are also DP-only GPUs that can support 6 displays at one time, so two of those
VisionTek Radeon 7750 2GB GDDR5 6M (6x MiniDP) - 900614 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C7EPSVS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RP3LDbPV70720
Nvidia NVS 810, Visiontek 7750. The NVS 810 seems to be a dual-card.
Don't expect them to drive game level quality of graphics. WebGL doesn't work with SLI/Xfire so you have to use a single card.
Quadro P5000/P6000 and GP100 (if the 5th disaply can use a DVI input) if you need more graphical power to render 3D stuff.
The 6 monitors is another card in an older computer, something like this. I have the new PC hooked up to only the middle one and I just toggle input and hit KVM switch to jump back and forth between "work pc" and "play pc".

And I think the new card has 2xDP, 2xHDMI, and 1x DVI.
If you are not going to be using it for gaming, why not get an Akitio Thunder3 instead? It is smaller, cheaper, and you can get a <75W card with multiple outputs. This comes up as an option, and I am sure you can find it (or something similar) even cheaper if you're looking at used cards as well.
The most important question is how much you are taxing the GPU; you need to get a card that will handle it.
From the point of view of outputs, you would either be looking for a pair of cards or a single card with many outputs like this one.
One thing to be aware of - Sometimes cards have outputs that can't be used simultaneously: for instance my 6870 has a DVI and HDMI port like that. So just because the card has 5 outputs don't assume you can use em all at once. (I'm pretty sure the one linked above is an exception).
Getting a card like this makes things much simpler. I'm not a 100% sure it can run 6 monitors 4K though, it may be limited to 4 or 5 if you want to do that. Contact Visiontek if you plan to run 6x 4K.
The VisionTek Radeon 7750 is the cheapest card I know of with 6 mini-DP outputs and costs around $230.

That being said, I support /u/pcpoweruser 's idea of getting a bigger 40" 4K display or two.
maybe something like this can run 6 displays:
https://www.amazon.com/VisionTek-Radeon-7750-GDDR5-MiniDP/dp/B00C7EPSVS
here is a gpu with 6 mini display ports link
you need one of this and adaptors
i hope, it helped
Okay! Great thing for me to look into. Yeah it will be a main focus point so I will have to make sure I get this right. Sounds like I will have to put some extra research into this alone.
Just looked up and found this Youtube Clip. Gentleman using a graphic card with 6 mini-display ports. And using 6 adaptors to run them. Could this be the best long term solution tho?

What is the easiest solution for diagnosing an issue on a new build when everything (CPU, GPU, SSD) is underperforming to the tune of 16% overall? Just browsing the internet is lagging.
I downloaded drivers for everything and this is a computer with AMD Ryzen 9 3950X with ASUS TUF-X570 PLUS motherboard which are compatible with each other. But it is clearly running anemic, could the graphics card meant for multi monitors (AMD Radeon HD 7750) with 2 GB capacity be causing EVERYTHING to underperform? Or is it a windows 10 installation issue?
This is the graphics card - https://www.amazon.com/VisionTek-Radeon-7750-GDDR5-MiniDP/dp/B00C7EPSVS
OK, then looks like I don't need it. My motherboard is: https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/TUF-GAMING-X570-PLUS/
And the GPU is:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C7EPSVS/
(mainly the normal ones cannot support 3 4k monitors, not gaming though)
I don't see any such connection for that, just the normal slot. I'm still too nervous about turning it on for the first time with everything connected, expecting an explosion.
I saw the Razer Chroma box on Amazon.
So all I would need is that box (it come with the power supply) and then a video card like this: https://www.amazon.com/VisionTek-Radeon-7750-GDDR5-MiniDP/dp/B00C7EPSVS/ref=pd_ybh_a_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=JSW68ETWE3PPP5J69JSH (support 6 4k outputs)
Is it just as simple as combining the video card and box and then plugging all the monitors into it and then the Macbook?
Get him a ryzen 5 mobo with plenty of ram and https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C7EPSVS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=mmcdl-20 this video card.
This might work for you: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C7EPSVS/ref=psdc_284822_t3_B008MHAMT2
Yes, that cpu will be way more than enough. You might want to look into VisionTek gpu's they can support up to 6 monitors at 1080p. Plus you can get multiple if you need more monitors https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C7EPSVS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=mmcdl-20
It's not nVidia but this should take care of your problem...
https://www.amazon.com/VisionTek-Radeon-7750-GDDR5-MiniDP/dp/B00C7EPSVS
what about crossfiring two http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00C7EPSVS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=mmcdl-20 with 10 active mdp to hdmi outputs? would they not sync up?
>32 PCIe lanes
No because each 6 port 4k card requires 16 lanes.
The only affordable GPU I could find.
​
I would go NVIDIA, but I can't seem to find one that can do 6 4k monitors.
Affordable quadros can only do 4 4k monitors...
