Forums -> Multiple monitors -> Slow window updating in two monitor setup
David   2007-03-06 06:55
Greetings.

My setup is a Shuttle Zen (ST62K) which has a
built-in ATI 9100 graphics. The Zen has a single
PCI slot.

I wanted to upgrade the system to a 3 monitor
system, went ahead and purchased three SyncMaster 204B (beautiful image by the way). Purchased a
Radeon-based VGA+DVI card. The system did not
recognize the Radeon Primary (!). Get the code 10
error (cannot start). So I set the BIOS to start
video from the PCI (as opposed to Onboard) and got
both Radeon VGA and DVI to work (the onboard
doesn't start at all).

Problem is the window repaint/update time has
become noticeably slow. If I disable the
seconday (through UltraMon) then the update
time becomes normal again.

I though maybe its the performance of the Radeon.
So I tried a GeForce 6200. Same exact situation.

Is this normal?

Thanks in advance!

David
