Dual CRT Monitor Support Question

Heihachi · 11-13-2002, 01:49 PM

Hey Yall,
I was wondering. I'm about to purchase the nForce2 chipset right now. Would this onboard video work w/ a radeon 9000 64mb AGP video card in a dual CRT setup? Or would I have to get a PCI video card. Or will it not work at all together for both kinds of setup.

Is it okay to mix video cards w/ geforce and ati?

Thanks

nForce 2 with integrated video have been pushed back a bit. Plus read something they were having problems with the integrated chipset version.

I don't believe it is possible to run the integrated video with a videocard in a dual setup.

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww... what a ball breaker... I read the user review that said it had the IGP. Dammit. Well I guess I'll just have to get the radeon 9700pro but it's so expensive!!!! Anyone know any other dual crt monitor support video cards that are at a more reasonable price for light gaming, but more video editing

Well at least the price dropped by $50. $150 at newegg now

I think you have to ahve 2 PCI Video cards to do that

So even if I had a reagular AGP video card already, I wouldn't be able to add a PCI card to get dual setup?

Along w/ that, can you mix cards. I.E. ATI and Nvidia?
