Install 2 Video Cards on Vista, 1 Nvidia, 1 ATI? cheato3825 12/29/2008 11:34:01 AM 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??

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" <cheato3825[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:E98A5F59-82F1-4884-81A8-0D4ECE960EEA[ at ]microsoft.com...
