I started a thread, but didn't get any usefull replies, so Moderators, or someone help. Here's my question:

If you look at my sig, I have two monitors connected on my 6200 Nvidia. Works great I love it, easier to get things done. But I notice I can't have a video (like something playing on WMP or video off my TV Tuner) spanned across both screens :( . My games and window apps can span fine, but not video for somereason (it blanks the shortest side on either monitor). Is it because my Video card isn't powerfull enough? Or is there a program I can't get for this. (I have the latest Nvidia drivers). Would a Nvidia 6800 be able to? Thanks for replies. :o
 
Most cards have problems spanning video overlay across two screens...that's just how they work(well, don't work.) I never tried this with my 6800 or 7800, but I beleive basically all cards are like this

Could a SLI setup work, with one monitor on one card, and the other monior on the other card? (I'm guessing not, but mabe possible)
 
I actually had a question I was going to post myself that's similar to that one, but I don't beleive it'll work. At least, not in a true SLI setup because the cards basically act as one.

So a fake SLI setup? lol, just kidding (in a sence, haha). Any one else can inlighten me on my video question, or is it trully not possible?
 
I don't mean to push anyone away, but I think it's actually a limitation of video overylay. I remember playing with my Radeon 8500 a while back and how only one screen could show the overlay.

Now, with two cards, it might work, but I've never tried it... Hmm...though I do have an extra GF4 MX 440 PCI laying around ;)
