My card has dvi, s-vid, vga ports and says it's nView equipped. Is it capable of multi-monitors and would it just need a dvi to vga converter?

Thanks in advance!

they had better be being how i ordered a fx5200 from newegg, yesterday. :-)

btw, i don't think you can use the s-video in conjunction w/both outputs (ie. you can drive 1 display and the tv, or two displays, no tv)...that's been my understanding on how the cards work when s-video is incorporated. (this is my first card w/s-video so i could be wrong on this.)

Specifically the same problem I ran into on my Radeon 9700 Pro... It has a VGA, DVI, and S-Video. I can't use all three at once, but any combination of two is okay. To my suprise, it isn't related to video memory limitations either, as I could reduce both monitors to 640x480 (good God that's ugly) and the TV still wouldn't enable.
