Need help with GPU

Hey guys, long timer lurker.

I have a friend who wants to run Microsoft Flight Sim X, he already purchased a HP Pavilion HPE h8t series:

h8t
• Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium [64-bit]
• Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 quad-core processor with Turbo-Boost [up to 3.8GHz, 8MB cache]
• 8GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM [2 DIMMs]

• 1GB DDR3 AMD Radeon HD 7450 [HDMI, DVI, VGA via adapter]
• 600W Power supply

Already purchased four Dell UltraSharp U2212HM 21.5-inch Monitor with LED


What can I do to drive all four monitors?

Between the box only having a single pci x16 slot and 3 PCI 1x, the dell monitors lack of DP 1.2 and Microsofts Flight simX built-in multi monitor support, I am totally confused on what to do.

Should I replace the 7450?
Should I buy 2 more PCI 1x cards?


I can spend around $300.

Please help!

I think your kind've out of luck on this, because the 7450 allows eyfinity of up to 4 monitors only with DP 1.2. I believe you can buy an HDMI to DP converter on newegg -> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ription=hdmi+to+displayport+adapter&x=15&y=27 There should be some with dual or more outputs too. Hope this helps.

I think the HD 7450 may also struggle when using multiple monitors on that game due to it being a weak card. Only 2 monitors at a time can be used without using displayport outputs on the card. This will mean you need to buy two (I believe they NEED to be active, also) DP adapters to DVI. I would suggest also getting a more powerful card, that one only has 160sp's and would probably struggle.
