Forums -> Multiple monitors -> PCI Card Always Primary?

Curious, when you use multiple video cards, is it me or does the PCI card always have to be primary? Are there any PCI cards that can be set as secondary?

to my knowledge, in most cases you can set which adapter is primary by going into the system BIOS.

Yup, you can definetely set which is primary in bios (agp or pci). But I noticed in the database that many PCI cards are primary due to compatibility problems. I just want to know if anyone can give me pci models that will work if set to secondary.

Easier said, a PCI card that will work even if the AGP is set as primary in BIOS

Take a look at the shopping guide, the cards listed there should work fine as secondary (not set as primary in BIOS or Windows).
