Install 2 Video Cards on Vista, 1 Nvidia, 1 ATI?
I have 2 graphics cards in my computer, one a Nvidia 9600GT which goes to my
22 inch monitor, and an ATI X1550 which goes to a 15 inch monitor. I do this so i can keep open programs like aim on my small monitor but still be able to play games on the 22 inch without losing any performance. In XP all i had to do was install my nvidia drivers and then my ATI drivers and I was good to go, is there any way to do this in Vista?? |

You've said that multiple times now, we get it. What you don't get is you
only need one graphics card to do that, that's why the card has 2 monitor connections on it, having a separate card for each monitor is not going to gain you any performance over a single card driving both monitors. -- ---- Crosspost, do not multipost http://www.blakjak.demon.co.uk/mul_crss.htm How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 Help Us Help You http://dts-l.net/goodpost.htm "cheato3825" wrote in message ...
