help with 3 monitors!

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to hook up 3 monitors to my computer. Two are widescreen LCDs and one is a TV with a PC input. My GPU has two extenders which allow the two widescreens to hookup directly to the gpu. The TV I've hooked up to my built-in intel gpu which is still in my computer and still fully operational. I'd be happy with it doing anything even just projecting what's on the first widescreen, I just want it for easy-to-watch movies. I've pluged the TV into the old GPU and I cannot get it to work, there was no detection or anything and when I go to display options it only shows the 2 widescreen. How can I get this to work?

This input is your onboard gpu? (its on the motherboard)

 

You can't use both onboard gpu and a graphics card at the same time, I tried doing that a while back.

 

You'd have to install another gpu card. So you can do SLI/Crossfire, or you can buy a pci graphics card.

 

OR if you have an onboard s/pdif, you might be able to convert some cables or something...

Ack! That's the conclusion I've been reading about. It being impossible. And I cannot find any DVI to DVI and VGA splitters.

 

However I'm wondering if this would work:

edit:

 

A cheaper alternative I just though of may be:

get a DVI splitter such as this:

Get a dvi to vga converter, plug it onto one, then plug that into the tv! Phew I think I may get this to work yet! :)

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
