    triple display problem. will this solution work?
    « on: October 28, 2009, 05:33:15 PM »
    right now i have a HP Pavilion m7360n with a 600watt power supply. I have a pci-e gefore 8600gt and a pci 5600 fx. when i had wnidows xp i could run all 3 of my monitors fine (2 on the 8600gt and 1 on the 5600gt) in full resolution 1920 x 1200. and with vista and now windows 7 i have the same problem i did when i tried vista when it came out. it doesnt let me use both my video cards. when i install the video card the other one wouldnt work and then i would try to fix it and install the driver for it and then the other driver wouldnt work and so on. so now im only running 2 of my 3 monitors with my 8600gt.

    so im looking for a new card and came acrosss this one
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102860&Tpk=SAPPHIRE%20100283SR

    the saphire  Radeon HD 5770 has eyefinity which i read can support 3 monitors on a single video card.
    PERFECT! just what i need.

    only before i buy it i want to know if
    1. my computer will be able to handle it.
    and
    2. if its going to fit inside.

    unless anybody else knows of an optional way to get my 3 monitors working again. this video card to me seems like the best bet and plus i can play widescreen games with direct x 11.
