Dual Video question
I currently run a dual monitor system with an AGP card and a PCI card and I'm about to upgrade my motherboard which has better onboard video than my AGP card, so I was wondering if it's possable to still do dual video with the onboard video and a PCI card?

Well, the way I'm doin' it now is that I have 2 video cards installed at the same time and that's how I'm running 2 monitors... I was wondering if one display could be run by the onboard video card and the second display ran by the PCI card
Sorry that I wasn't more specific in my initial post

Yea you could if you bye the dual mobo with the dual atis but you cant have 2 different types of video cards, but if it does end up working then youll end up with the same thing on each screen.

I'm using an extended desktop
In my AGP port I have a Geforce 3 Ti200 and in my PCI slot I have a VooDoo3 and the motherboard I want to get has the Nforce 3 chipset with onboard graphics... I don't know if those graphics are better than my Geforce 3 Ti200 though... anyone know? Last edited by steelbath; 09-15-2005 at 03:44 AM. |
