quad monitors on 2 video cards - help! - GoFuckYourself.com

nyana · 11-02-2006, 09:35 PM

I've been running 3 monitors for the past while using the following:

RADEON 9600 Series for 2 monitors
Diamond S60 64MB DDR Radeon 7000 PCI for the 3rd monitor.

Today I added a 4th monitor, but I can only get 3 listed on my display listings.

Listed are

BenQ FP931 on RADEON 9600 SERIES
BenQ FP931 on RADEON 9600 SERIES - Secondary
(Multiple Monitors) on Diamond S60 64MB DDR Radeon 7000 PCI

My third monitor is basically just 2 exact copies of the same screen.

I don't know how to differentiate the two outputs, or if I even can. Seems pretty stupid to have dual outputs, but not be able to have seperate outputs, mind you this is a fairly cheap card. Anybody have any idea here?
I'm sure a handful of you guys are running quads

Thanks for any suggestions!

I'm running quads...

two video cards, both are nvidia 6800xt. I would check the manual for the problem video card. Maybe it doesnt support two different displays.

Don't take my word for it, but to run quad on different ATI cards i'm pretty sure you need to find a hacked driver... and to be fair running dual on a 64mb pci card probably wouldn't work all that well anyway. Hell I remember struggling to get 1280x1024 out of my old 64mb radeon.
