Running 3 Monitors Off 2 Graphics Cards?

[miross11]

Have xw4600 HP workstation. Running two FX570 Nvidia dual dvi cards. 1st card only has a 20 in monitor (primary) and 2nd card has two 19 in monitors connected (both secondary).

The first monitor works (primary) and the 1st of the two 19in monitors works. But the 2nd 19in monitor stays black. Running on XP pro. 4gig ram.

If anyone has any ideas, it would really be appreciated.

Thanks!

Since the one port is working on the card with two monitors you could give this adaptor a try.

Thanks for the suggestion however the cards are dual dvi out cards. Is it possible/probable that one port on a card would be defective and yet the card would work propertly thru the good port?

Thanks!

It may be a limitation of the card have you tried two monitors on the other card.

XP doesn't support what you want to do. You need Win7.
