Setting up triple monitors, trying to run 2 graphics cards

[N2ICV]

I hope someone on here can help me with this.

1st my set up
Gigabyte P55-UD4P with a Intel I5 750 Lynnfield
Windows 7 Pro SP1

16 GB of Corsair PC3 10700H (667Mhz)

1TB HD

PNY Nvida GeForce GT 430 in the PCIe slot (Driver V 301.42 DirectX 11)

1 32" LCD TV (HDMI)

1 19" wide LCD Monitor (VGA)

1 17" wide LCD Monitor (VGA)

I can onty run 2 Monitors ( 1 HDMI and 1 VGA) at a time with this set up, I like to run all 3 Monitors at 1 time .
So I did this
I got a EVGA NVIDIA GeForce 6200 PCI Graphics adapter. I put it in pci 2, have my 17" wide lcd VGA pluged in to that (The Nvida GeForce GT 430 in the PCIe has 1 32" LCD TV (HDMI) and 1 19" wide LDC Monitor (VGA)) . The GT 430 sees the 19" But when I enable my 19" wide lcd VGA ( in windows CP and Nvida CP ) all video go black? now what??? Its also slowing the PC down. HELP!

Thanks to no one from here! I found some help.
I uninstalled the old drivers, then installed the latest Video drivers from Nvidia. Now all is working.

well shiz, thank you for giving us people with LIVES a chance to even see the topic you posted.....


thats exactly what i would have told you to do, because only the latest ( IIRC ) drivers support Triple monitors from two independent cards..... now also IIRC if your card has at least 2 Digital ( DVI or HDMI ) you can run upto 3 monitors ( 1 on HDMI, 1 on DVI, and one on the VGA if it has it ) ill tell you this, that crappy 6200 is going to bottleneck your 430 like crazy.....and if im not mistaken, if you TRY to run SLI, its going to down clock your 430 to the 6200's speeds, causing even worse SLI Frame latency and even crappier video performance.


Second EDIT: matter fact, it wont run SLI at all....... those two cards are soo far apart, SLI wont even enable without getting fuxored up from the two different generation GPU's


EDIT: After Looking up your card... you have a HDMI x1, DVI x1 and VGA x1....u "SHOULD" be able to run triple on that...... bearing in mind though, that the VGA is going to be the worse resolution of them all. as much as i hate saying this, im a die hard Nvidia person, but you would be better off with a AMD/ATi EyeFinity card that natively supports triple setups

my stepson had 2 monitors hooked up and a laptop next to it
so i sent a picture of 3 monitors on 1 computer
he added a TV to his mix
so i sent a picture of 4 monitors
before he could do anything
i then sent a picture of 5 monitors
i got a text of "I HATE YOU"
he was kidding
went down to 3...it slowed the computer way down
have fun
