Wierd title i know.
So i did make a old thread ([url]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=821308[/url]) that i say 3 monitors did not work. Someone told me
[quote]if you're desperate, maybe a cheap PCI card for the third monitor?
would need to be ATi for drivers [/quote]
And i been thinking. I have a old graphic card that i maby can use, but the question is.
I have a HD 4850 and this other graphic card i have is some old shit. But will it work if i just want 3 monitors or does the graphic card need to be a 4850?
Sorry for spelling....
Should work fine as long as you don't want to crossfire them or anything.
cool. gonna try.
is the old card AGP, PCI or PCI-E? check your MoBo has the right slot for it

also wow that thread was only a week ago? feels like ages
Did not work :frown:
The problem (what i think) is that my motherboard is ASUS P5Q premium and i have my HD 4850 on it. And when i read about the motherboard it says
[quote]1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot at max. x16 link (blue)
1 x PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot at max. x8 link (white)
2 x PCI Express x16 slot at max. x4 link (black)
1 x PCIe x1
2 x PCI
[/quote]
And the 4850 is a PCI Express 16x 2.0.
So is it possibly to get in another graphic card so i can use 3 monitors?

The old card was a Radeon 9600xt 128mb
that'll be AGP, it won't go in a PCI-E slot
although you're in luck, with multiple PCI-E slots you'll have no problem finding a card to put in
