Cant enable more than 8 monitors in Windows 8

Hello,

It could be a limit from the graphics card, or from Windows.
This would not be because of the number of monitors, but the number of pixels.

What is the resolution of the total desktop you are trying to achieve?
Have you tried lowering the resolution to see if the 10 monitors fit?

As the video from Plugable shows, they ran 14 monitors. You'd need quite a graphics card and good USB throughput available to drive all that though...

Kind regards,
Alban
