Re: [H] Dual Display
Hi Chris, I don't play games too, but I bought the setup to be able to calibrate both monitors seperately. Yes, It is pretty awesome, though I have yet to install a game on my machine :-) A friend has been using normal 6600 nvidia cards with 4 samsung monitors setup in a square, using two cards as well. Only thing is you have to reboot to change from SLI to dual view I am very happy with it, if you just want to run two monitors, then I have been very happy with Matrox cards in the past, I have a parhelia in my other box, which can run 3 (three) screens of one card. Hope this helps, if you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me, Kindest regards Henrik - Original Message - From: Christopher Klein [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'The Hardware List' hardware@hardwaregroup.com Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 10:59 AM Subject: RE: [H] Dual Display Hi Henrik, Thank you very much for the response. I really don't care about the SLI. I'm not that into gaming. I'm mainly just concerned about the dual displays. However, if I'm reading this correctly it sounds pretty cool. Could I use both video cards together, in SLI mode, to output a game on one display? And when not playing games, use both video cards independently for dual display in windows? If so, that would be pretty awesome. Thanks!

I use two Nvidia Quadro FX 3400 PCIe, which are connected to two Dell 2405 LCD's, I could hook two more up, but I would not be able to have SLI running :-) I hope this answers your question, also if you want to color calibrate your screens, you need independent video cards for each screen with separete LUT's regards Henrik Tived - Original Message - From: Christopher Klein [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: 'The Hardware List' hardware@hardwaregroup.com Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2005 10:57 PM Subject: [H] Dual Display I have an SLI motherboard, it's an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe. I have a generic video card that only supports one DVI. I'm adding a second flat panel. If I add a second PCI Express video card, can I run dual monitor? Or does the second video card only do processing?(for increased FPS in games)? Or do I need to buy a video card that has two DVI outs? The video card will have to handle some high res. My first monitor runs at 1680 x 1050, 32 bit color. Second monitor will run at 1280 x 1024. Thanks! Chris
