Solved: Multi monitors with AGP video card and motherboard

Zeldascorn · 02-02-2009

hey guys, just a question, is it possible to use my built in vga adapter on my motherboard while i use an AGP card?

i have a geforce 7300gt AGP and have dual monitors running on it but i want to add a third one.
My mobo is an MSI P4-mam2v (old) and has a built in S3 vga adapter.

If it's possible, how is it done? thank you for any help...

Hello,as far as I am aware it is a no I am afraid.

To run two cards of exact same make and model you would have to have a SLi capable mainboard.

To run two diffrent make and model cards you would have to have a crossfire capable mainboard.

Then purchase two graphics cards make and models pertaining to your mainboard capabilities.

Trying to use onboard graphics and a PCI graphics card causes conflicts and issues.
