Three displays with two graphics cards?

[masscrazy]

Yoyo,

So I'd like to use my two monitors and tv together.

I want my monitors to extend and tv to duplicate my main display.

SO i tried a "HDMI Male to Dual HDMI Female 1 to 2 Way Y Splitter Cable Adapter" and one dvi (female) to hdmi (female) into graphics cards 1st DVI port. The HDMI splitter the takes in HDMI from TV and another (HDMI male to DVI female) and so the result.

Main display is duplicated on TV and second monitor extends main display.

That pretty much works, except some funny articfacts which could be due to loose connection but didnt bother check it out further as there is one major problem.

That problem, TV and main display are two different resolutions both "full HD" one 16x9 the other 16x10. Since the TV is duplicate of main display, the tv is squished a bit due to it duplciating a 16x10 res on 16x9.

So i've now decided I may get this GFX card from overclockers a HD 5450 to run all three displays properly.

Question is will this be OK to run on x4 pcie slot and based on my rig specs (oc 6600 3.1ghz, 7hdds, 4890OC gfx card, various usb devices), will my PSU at 520W handle all this and a 5450?

Soz for the long explanation but you see my dilemma.

That's not possible is it? Extended on two displays and then ONE of those on the TV? Sounds weird to me. But if you say it works, then cool!

That card is one VGA, one HDMI and one DVI-D. Use HDMI for the TV and the other for the monitors. VGA-DVI connector if you need it

So its TV+MainDisplay = Duplicate and MainDisplay + secondMonitor = extends.

It does work. Except TV has to take the 16x10 res as its "duplicating"
