Forums -> Multiple monitors -> another multi monitor problem...

I just put together a system with an Asus SLI Motherboard and I installed 2 GeForce 7800 cards in the two PCIE slots, I would like to run a 3 monitor system through DVI but when I boot only 2 of them come on, The 3rd one (Attached to the second card) never comes on (Not even in Post) I tried switching the SLI selector card to single and Dual monitor mode but nothing seems to work, I also looked around in the Bios and I cant find anything that would seem to make it work,
Is this a BIOS problem or do I need to do some more Config in windows to make this monitor recieve a signal? Please heIp, Thanks

As i understand it you can only have a maximum of 2 monitors under SLI, and they have only just fixed that issue...

What about if I have SLI turned off (Rotating the Selector card to "Single Video Card"? I tried that and It didnt seem to work...

Have you updated the motherboard BIOS yet? If not, do that before wasting time on anything else. A BIOS update should always be your first step before installing new hardware (and before installing an OS).

I got the 3rd Monitor to work but I had to do it under Windows Display properties and not the Nvidia Software... Sort of weird.. I wish it would work with Nvidias software but it seems to only work with 2 of the moinitors but not with all 3... Oh well maby they will fix this with the next driver... Problem solved... Sort of.
Thanks guys

Hello Hunter,
Are you able to display FS2004 over the 3 screens?
I want to build a same setup as you but Ihave to know first if all 3 screens can display a 3d video image (even if only in windowed mode)
Regards,
Martin
