puntoMX Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Would it be possible to get a Y-Splitter for the VGA connection and get a 3rd LCD connected or does he need a 2nd VGA card?Yes there is, Matrox has it's Tripplehead2Go in a VGA and DVI version. I think that Tain (super moderator) still uses the VGA one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceez Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 puntoMX so you're saying the only way is to get a matrox card or that box? adding a y-splitter to one of the 2 outputs might not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puntoMX Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 No, not a Matrox card, it's indeed the box that splits the signal over the 3 screens, so, your video card will see he box as a monitor itself, the box just splits it onto 3 monitors after that.
