Video Card Advice

[JohnRoss]

Hi guys, im looking too add a 3rd Monitor too my system too perform vjin ( djin with videos ) i currently have 2 14" flat screens and a 26" screen,


I have seen for sale usb vga adapters which could be okay for the job but havent actually tried one out yer ,its for use in a live sound environment so latency is an issue I might just wait and upgrade the graphics card when i get a quad core cpu later this year, has anyone tried a usb vga adapter for gaming?

wondering what the performance is like


also can anyone reccomend a good graphics card with 3 outputs( ideally 1 hdmi and 2 vga , bear in mind its not going too be used for gaming so dont really need complete overkill , at most it would be streaming 2 high quality mp4 files too 2 seperate screens

Geting a cheap 2nd Graphics card would probably be the best option.

PCI-E or PCI card depending what's avaliable on your mobo.

yeah a cheap graphics card would be better

 

[JohnRoss]

ideal never considered that

will just wait too i upgrade my machine and get something then

Hi guys , got round too installing a nvidia 9500 card today and it is giving me the error message

Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)


The onboard GFX are ATI is this perhaps causing the conflict????


tried the latest drivers direct from nvidia

On vista you cannot have ati and nvidia installed on the same system afaik

Someone should have mentioned that.
