PCIx or AGP (or PCI even)? I'm using two Gigabyte Geforce 6200 TCs (GV-NX62TC256D8) to drive four analogue monitors, all 3D accelerated (albeit rather slow acceleration as they're entry level cards) and all capable of displaying a video overlay. They are both PCIx and are running on an SLI motherboard with SLI mode on, but they aren't bridged because they're too cheap to support this and it woudn't be any use when running multiple displays.
A few things to consider: * If you want to use XGL, max is two monitors and must be done on the one card using NVIDIA Twinview (may change one day, but that's where it's at last I checked) * If you want to use analogue monitors, make sure that the second connector is attached to the board, not via a ribbon cable (as this turns the picture quality to garbage. Also, some cards don't support a digital -> analogue adapter (usually the cheaper/nastier ones, but some (possilby most) of the Dual DVI options only support digital -> analogue on one of the outputs). * If you want to use digital monitors, minimum is a 6600GT, but not all have dual digital outputs, only the more expensive ones. (but you said mid range, so that should be ok $ wise). Ben On 10/17/06, justin randell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
hi all, after getting used to it at work, i've decided i can't live without a dual monitor setup at home any longer. so, i'm looking for recommendations for a mid-level dual monitor video card to run with ubuntu edgy. thanks in advance. justin -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
