garymeg Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 Is it possible to set up a twin display by useing 2 GFX cards or will i have to buy a twin vga out gfx card. i have a gforce agp card and an old ati card can i use both gfx cards ar once?
mattofak Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 you can, but its not garenteed that it will work, especially since one is running on agp and the other im assuming on pci... configuring the drivers is also annoying, and you generally have to have the same card, as in type and manufacturer...still, im not saying its impossible, just very difficult to configure properly... so if you want a challenge, go ahead and try it, it wont damage your computer, but if you just want to do it easily, go off and buy a new card...
garymeg Posted January 8, 2005 Author Posted January 8, 2005 Thought it might be a toughy, I can only get one to work at a time even if i use 2 pci cards. useing agp & pci i can only get tho one that the bios is set to stary withdo you know anywhere where there is any info on the way to do it?
mattofak Posted January 8, 2005 Posted January 8, 2005 i dont know if this article will help you at all, but it will at least give you a start...http://www.infinisource.com/features/dualmonitors.html
Computer Commando Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Works for me. 1 AGP card and 1 PCI card. PCI card should be in slot nearest AGP slot. Win98, Win2k, WinXP, all support dual monitors.
un4given1 Posted January 19, 2005 Posted January 19, 2005 Yeah... that's not a problem at all. And not very hard at all. I used to run 5 monitors.
