Dual Video Cards PCI and AGP
Currently I am running a 7800GS APG and a FX5500 PCI simultaneously
utilizing three monitors and am having issues pluging in a TV. When i bought the PCI card to add a third monitor, i wasn't sure if it would even work. Has anyone ever attempted this before? No game i've even been able to get on two monitors. My question is can i run a tv while not disrupting the three displays? when i activate the tv it takes the middle display to the tv and mixes up the other 2 displays. Is there a better way of achieving what i want without upgrading my motherboard? Thank you very very much for your time and knowledge! -Mike Donahue P4 3.2 GHz Prescott 3GB DDR400 2x74GB Raptor RAID 0 GeForce 7800GS 256mb GeForce FX5500 128mb 3x Samsung 17" 172N |

When i bought the PCI card to add a third monitor, i wasn't sure if it would even work. Has anyone ever attempted this before? So you have two monitors plugged into the 7800GS, and the third monitor plugged into the FX5500. Now you are trying to drive the TV from the FX5500, correct? No game i've even been able to get on two monitors. If you have two monitors on one card set up in clone mode, the games should show up on both monitors. If you want to span a game across two monitors (wrap-around like), it will require specific game support. Most games won't span. My question is can i run a tv while not disrupting the three displays? when i activate the tv it takes the middle display to the tv and mixes up the other 2 displays. You need to explain this in detail. Is there a better way of achieving what i want without upgrading my motherboard? Thank you very very much for your time and knowledge! Motherboard has nothing to do with this. You need two GPUs to drive three monitors. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means.
