3060 SFF, Four monitors
Hi, I'm attempting to get a small form factor OptiPlex 3060 set up with four monitors. I've confirmed that the onboard Intel video (UHD 630) can only support three, even with a splitter. (Attempted to do 4, but one monitor would always turn off.)
I would like to know if a USB to VGA/DVI/HDMI adapter would allow a fourth monitor. An adapter like this one. It's not to do anything intensive like games, so performance is less a factor than simply being able to output to a fourth screen. Since it's controlled by the CPU I'm not sure if the Intel three output limit would be a factor.
I've also looked at half height internal graphics cards, but the power supply of the OptiPlex 3060 is only 200W and there do not seem to be any cards that officially support that. I was looking at this Geforce GT 710 as another option, but don't want to damage the computer in the process by overloading the PSU.
Any thoughts?
