| | 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?? |

I have an 8800 GTS card and use the dual dvi outputs to power a 22" widescreen lcd and a 19" lcs. I set them up to extend the desktop onto the secondary monitor and can drag programs over to it to run. Does not seem to hurt performance in any of my games. -- Don |
