Running 3 monitors off one PC ????
 

I have two screens running on my system now,
Trying to add another .
the first two are on a dual head nvidia card, Can I plug my last one up into my onbaord video card and get it to work somehow ?

So far nothing .. but is there a way to do it ?



I am running Xp .
:helpme

not too sure, why would you want to do that though?

Which Nvidia card do you have?

productivity .. and to have a " war" screen .. I dont have cable .

its an older nvidia .. not too sure traded a few grams for it :)

I think once your computer sees a card in your AGP slot it doesnt recognise the on-board. (I think) I had the same trouble. I just dumped a PCI voodoo3500 in one of my open slots and it worked fine. XP comes with voodoo drivers

Simple answer, no. not onboard, either either AGP or onbaord.
and then still no.

what about agp and PCI ?

just buy a Matrox Parhelia

why not just get cable.

hahaha

If you run 2 screens off one pc, with a good card can you run 2 different resolutions(800 and 1200)?

If you can, do you recomend any perticular card?

Thx,

I havent watched TV other this war .. in over 2 years .
I hate TV .

I dont believe you.

I held the record here with like 7 months.

You didnt mention this.

You really havent watched in 2 years or are you just saying that?

I run a nvidia .. two monitors is easy .
Three is what I want though .

flashfreak that card is $600 CND here .. just called to order it .

pretty steep , just to watch the news though .. fuck it .
black and white 12 TV it is :) till it comes in ,

I cut my cable two years ago and havent looked back .
Poison for the mind .

I hooked up this little 12 inch black and white .. and instantly my kids are all fucked up .. " I want this " I want that "
TV is bullshit .

I just bought a nice 32 inch TV .. but the fucking thing doesnt pick up air channels where I live

Use this video card for running 3 monitors:

I bet that monitor would rock your Half Life world.

I used to run three monitors when i was day trading. You have to use three different cards though. I am pretty sure that the dual monitor card is the reason things are fucked. I ran one AGP and two PCI's and it was a breeze to set up.

Yes there is, just enable the video card on your mobo and then go to the bios and switch the primary video boot from AGP to PCI. This will make the on board video a primary one (assuming that it is a PCI version). If it's an AGP version like your nVidia card then you can't do it(can't have 2 AGP cards on one PC), unless you get another add on PCI video card.

Then go to Windows XPs display properties and check if the third display adapter is showing, if it is then enable it by checking the "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor".

Good Luck

You need either 3 cards, or a card that supports 3 monitors. To the person that asked if you could run different resolutions, yes, you can, but that also depends on your drivers to a degree I believe. :)
ZoiNk

just ordered the card . :)
that montior is sweet . alittle to inflexable for my set up .. I move shit around all the time ..

AGP and PCI together work fine. Thats what I am running
a Radeon 9700 agp and vodoo3500 PCI
Three monitor capable.

You can just get any cheapo PCI card.


Matrox Parhnelia(sp) is pretty much worthless...
