ATI or Nvidia?...and some minor questions

what I'm understanding is that I need a span mode to display two screens of 1920x1080

I know that this mode is possible only using a Quadro board and enabling the Mosaic option (on Windows 7)

Do I need a Quadro board or a GTX580 is enough to show two screens?

What about a workstation with 4 GTX580? Can I use all of them?

What about ATI gamer card? Runs better with Ventuz? Does It enable the span mode?

Regards

I would go for AMD cards, we had less problems setting them up. They work stable and a lot of configurations are possible, especially with the latest drivers.

What card you need depends a lot on your scene. Maybe the AMD Firepro V3900 offers enough performance, ottherwise the 7900 offers a lot for its price.
But you should not use gamer cards...

Cheers,
Tobi

Ventuz does NOT support multiple graphics boards in one machine. So you cannot render a single scene distributed over 4 GPUs.
