3 Monitors - GTX460

[aidacuk]

Hi,

I've read numerous threads stating that the GTX460 won't run 3 monitors at the same time, which I'm fine with. But I can't find an answer as to whether I can have all 3 monitors connected (2 x DVI, 1 x HDMI), and then select which 2 are active at any given time without having to disconnect / reconnect any. Can anyone advise?

Basically I currently have a 21.5" monitor connected and my TV connected as a second monitor (to watch films etc). I'm now looking at hooking up a second 21.5" monitor, so that I will primarily use the 2 monitors, and then switch one of the monitors over to the TV when I want to watch something.

Thanks in advance.

I think it can be done. Though i don't know if you can switch instantly between two monitors.

Ok, was hoping there'd be a way in the NVidia Control Panel or something to just disable one screen then enable to other.

If I remember correct the dvi 2 and hdmi share the same output. It looks like in Nvidia control panel you should be able to select which display you want through the set up multiple displays.

I was going to try it out for you but I don't have the right cables to do it at work.

Ok thanks, I'll get it all set up tonight and give it a go.
