Yes, but not a stretched gaming display.

A Z68 motherboard can drive upto two screens, what board do you have?

I have 3 u2311h's I want to run. I don't want eyefinity. Just sold my 6970.

So could I run two monitors off the onboard and one off the 5450?

Cheers!

Asus P8Z68-V LX is what I've just ordered. Holding off on the cards until I know what's what.

- Supports RGB with max. resolution 2048 x 1536 @ 75 Hz
Maximum shared memory of 1748 MB

So you can use the DVI+VGA ports on the board.

Then the 5450 can connect to the other via DVI

I take it I set something in the bios to allow this to work. Usually onboard gets disabled when a card is inserted in a pci slot?

If it works it will be pretty good.

In "advanced bios features" on my gigabyte board there is onboard gfx options of,

auto
enable
enable if no PEG (no gfx card)


So you enable it, install the intel HD drivers and you go from there.

The board isn't due to arrive until next week. So I'll go from there. I hope it works OK however. I didn't think it was possible to run onboard and a PCI card in conjuction with each other.
