Hello Zombie! How r u.
I know this is a very old thread and, probably, these cards are a bit outdated. That's no problem to me.
I need some help/advise from you. Do you think it's possible to connect 2x 7870 cards so i can get 12 screens on a Mac Pro 5,1 flashed from 4,1??

If not, what do you advise in terms of video card to get, at least 10 outputs so I can connect 10 Projectors for a VideoMapping Project.

Thanks in advance and hope to get a response soon as I need a, somewhat, quick solution. :/

I don't see why you couldn't run two identical cards to get that many displays.
Might be depend on which version of the OS you are running if they both will work at the same time.

Maybe. It depends on what version of the OS you are running. Also there are newer cards now, so it might make sense to check those out.

I believe the cheaper versions of this card with 6 connectors also work.

Not clear to me, but I think this card might work with newer OSs now:

Thankyou Zombie! Will have a look on those.
