Triple Screens

Vimialp · 09-20-2005, 05:37 PM

Would any one know how to have tri-screen, I can use duel screens fine, but i would like tri-screen.

Besides buying a whole new computer with 3 PCI-Express slots and 3 GPUs, is there any way with only two GPU and 3 monitors?

Of course.
There are many possibilities.

For example, I have singlehead (one monitor output) AGP card and dualhead (two outputs) PCI card in my system.
It would be best if you'd describe your current setup, so we can give you optimal advice.

You could also ask on some dedicated sites/forums, such as:

Well, my geforce 5500 card has a
dvi or crt output (crt, flatscreen)
a crt output (moniter)
s-video output (tv)
all of those I can use with one agp slot, consider one of those graphics card.

Though, I really like the geforce 5500 one, it has software with all sorts of goodies!

superstuntguy, but yo can't use three independent monitors...
Besides your cart is most likely NOT pci...

Actually, I can, as in
the screens are combined so you can
M1 M2 M3
Window ------------>
They are spanned, not cloned.

Really? 3 monitors connected to ANY single chip Nvidia card, displaying different things? I'd really like to see that...

superstuntguy · 11-13-2005, 04:57 PM

Well, it can! 2 Monitors and 1 S-Video Tv, (or an adapter probably)

And that DVI-2-VGA Adapter? It comes with it!
But if you want quality, so if your gonna play a 3d game with it, I wouldnt double screen let alone triple screen!
But, meh... too lazy to take more pictures...

But that's OK in a wider perspective - at least Vimialp knows from whom not to take advice...

Well, I did read that, and I put that with an
S-Video To VGA Adapter you could use it...

I got it to work on a friends computer with his sli combo but when he plays games it goes to single screen, which wasn't the centre screen until i fixed it, again.
