Hi

I'm trying to set up 3 monitors on my new PC. It has 2 PCIe slot and it came with a Geforce GTX285 and I bought a Geforce 9800GT cause I read somewhere you need to have different GPU platforms to make it work. But when I have both installed at the same time, neither works. Each card on their own works great. Anyone have any suggestions for me?

More like you need to have the same GPU platform, so they use the same driver, especially if you want to take advantage of the advanced graphical features of Vista or Windows 7 while using more than 1 video card.

That doesn't mean different cards won't work together. I use disparate cards (Nvidia PCIe and Matrox PCI at the moment) at work to run my 3 monitors, but I'm still using XP.
