3 screens - Would this work?

[R088ieS86]

Hey guys,

I need a 3rd screen running on my rig. No gaming will be happening on it, just work -watching videos.

I have a HD4350 in there at the moment which can run 2 screens. I have a HD6450 lying about somewhere. Would it be possible to use that to drive the 3rd, or doesn't it quite work like that?

If not which is the easiest way to do it - new card wise?

As long as you have a PCIe slot on your MB for the HD6450 don't see any reason why it wouldn't work.

 

[R088ieS86]

excellent.
I will give it a try later. Cheers.

So this didn't work.
The 2 AMD drivers required to run the cards install their bits and bobs over the top of each other in the system32 / WOW64 folder in windows.

so when ever the HD6450 is installed the HD4350 won't work.

Will I have better luck with a nVidia card? My friend has a 440GT somewhere he said I can borrow.

If it's conflicting, Yeah. The issue is probably that one of the cards needs legacy drivers to work which is mangling the other.

An nvidia card would mean that they are both using completely drivers so well be fine.

Yeah the 4350 uses legacy drivers.
On to the 440 then Cheers spoffle
