DeMoN Posted September 23, 2004 Posted September 23, 2004 Does any one know of any pci video cards with DVI out? I just got 2 17inch lcds and have one hooked up with a dvi connection and the other with vga, it is like night and day between the 2. so I would like to find a pci video card with dvi out to hook up the other one. I would just go out and get a new video card with 2 dvi out but I just got a new card about 3 months ago and just dropped over $700 on the lcd so I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleaznkid Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 (edited) just go to newegg. and go to their video card section. and on the left just customized your search. And you'll fine many variations =] K? BTW why do you need PCI? are you going to add another monitor? total of 3 monitor? never mid didnt read all the way LOL! =p Edited September 24, 2004 by littleaznkid Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMoN Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 the reason for the 2nd video card is so i can use the other dvi connection for the second lcd. dvi and vga running next to each other just don't look right. the dvi is crylsat clear and the vga just does not have the same sharpness. i have switched the lcd around to make sure it was not the lcd panel.

InvaderTrax Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Last I knew, you couldn't run two video cards at the same time. I know you can't use integrated and AGP at the same time at least... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DECwakeboarder Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 Im pretty sure that you can, not too sure tho, I dont know of any PCI cards w/ dual dvi out tho Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMoN Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 i have done it before with a older agp card and a 2nd pci card for 3 monitors i only need one more dvi connection, i have one on my 5900 but would like another so i'm thinking about a 5200 or something around there saw some stuff at newegg just going to do a little reshearch Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dignan Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 I have a fire-gl x1 with dual DVI. But in your case a second dvi would work with the 5200 PCI version. I ran my TI-4200 and a GF-2 MX PCI togeather, the only problem I had was when I tried to mix ATI and Nvidia cards. but I know for a fact I got a AGP and PCI card to work, I think Bishop did the same thing.

confuzzedintelguy Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 why not git a 5700ultra? http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-128-188&depa=1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeMoN Posted September 24, 2004 Posted September 24, 2004 the only reason i'm looking for a 2nd card and not just a new one with 2 dvi heads, is i just bought a 5900 about 3 months ago and really don't have $200 to buy a new card. plus getting that 5700 would be some what of a cut back from the performace of the 5900. i know that it would not be great but it would be a downgrade Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
