3 Monitors...

Quick question about three monitors.

 

Right now, I have two monitors working, both connect to my PCIe graphics card. Is it possible to connect a third monitor to my onboard graphics card via the port I have in the back of my PC, and still run my duals off of my PCIe?

 

Thanks.

Probably, but it depends on the motherboard. Some motherboards automatically disable the onboard video card if you plug in a separate PCIe card. If you have the driver installed (and it shows up under the devices list in My Computer) then you should be able to activate it and add a third monitor. If you right-click the desktop and choose properties, then settings, you'll see a third monitor in the gray box. You should then be able to enable that third monitor and position it however you want, relative to your two existing ones.

Ok, thanks. I plan on having one monitor for tower view... the other for my strips... and the other for the primary. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks!
