Forums -> Multiple monitors -> ASUS P5Q-E and GeForce9800GT - 3rd monitor ?'s

G'Day folks. Newb here. I am looking for some advice.
I am running XP Pro on an ASUS P5Q-E and a single GeForce 9800GT onto two 23" LCD panels. So far this is working quite well for Flight Simulator X. I can undock and put different views or instruments onto the second monitor. I would like to add a 3rd smaller monitor in between the 2 23's for my primary forward flight display. Being somwhat new to multimonitor and FSX I am not quite sure what would be the best route to follow. From what I have read here, it would seem to me one route might be to get another PCIEX16 card and just hook up the third monitor. I have a second slot available. Will that work? If I get another compatable NVidea card I suspect I can even use my existing drivers? Yes? Any other specific recommendations would be welcome.
Thanks -Rob-

That should work fine, if you get the same card or one which can use the same driver you'll only need to install a single set of drivers.

I'm not familiar with FSX though and don't know if it has any issues with multiple video cards.
