PCI Card For Aero And Dual Monitor Photoshop

Oct 26, 2009

i hope to get some advice for updating my video card before I install Windows 7. I ran Microsoft's upgrade advisor and was informed that my video card (ATI X1650) was not up to running Aero. I'd like to have that functionality but it is essential that I be able to have a card that runs dual DVI monitors, one of which, an Eizo ColorEdge is color-calibrated.

I'm not a gamer so that stuff is moot for me but the ability to maintain high resolution color-perfect monitors is critical for Photoshop apps (my main app).

With that background, what video cards do you think I should be considering?

Aero Border Effects On Dual Monitor

Oct 18, 2009

Just wondering if its possible to have the border effect on each side of the screen with dual monitors. Mine are only on the far right and far left, no middle as it seems logical if you have 2 monitors you might want to have 50% coved with one window and have the 2nd 50% with another window, then you could full screen a 3rd window or just have 2 more halves. but the current way it works is 2 halves then a big empty space in the middle or 2 full screens.

I love the easy and quick way to organize/resize the windows but its very inconvenient to do this manually for half of the screen.

Aero Lag On A Dual-video Card Laptop?

Jul 29, 2012

I'm running it on my HP Pavilion g6, which has a Intel Core i3 processor@2.3 ghz, 4 gb RAM and both an ATI Radeon HD7670 and an Intel HD 3000 series video card.So the problem is that the aero effects are kinda laggy, for example when using the windows key+tab or when shuffling around the elements in the start menu. I know there is an option to select which video card runs a certain application( Configure switchable graphics), but how can i canfigure it so the windows uses the faster ATI card, rather than the Intel one?

EDIT: I also forgot to add that all the drivers are the newest versions.

Dual Monitor Low Profile Card

Nov 2, 2009

Looked around but nothing specific. If there's another thread with the answer feel free to post the link and smack me...

Have a Dell GX620 (desktop: mid-size that requires low profile PCIe graphics card) running Windows 7 Pro 32 bit. Looking for a low profile card that will support dual DVI (expecting a Y cable) with dual monitors and extended desktop with 2 different displays. Dell 22" widescreen and Dell 19" digital.

Can go VGA if needed but would like to go all DVI.

Another thing I'd like is certified Windows 7 drivers vs just compatible or something that I have hack to make it work. I tend to build out a box and let it run a few years with as little tweaking as possible...

Dual Monitor Graphic Card Suggestions

Nov 2, 2009

Currently have FireGL V3350 which there are no ATI-provided Windows 7 drivers.

It does seem to work OK though with the automatically installed drivers.

Thinking to upgrade to something a bit more up to date, what would the team suggest?

This is for basic office/development work with 2 19" viewsonics so need 2xDVI. No gaming and would prefer something with passive cooling.

Any thoughts?

Dual Monitor - GF 8800GTS 650M 512MB DDR3 DUAL DVI TV PCIE

Jun 4, 2009

I was having a problem with dual monitor using 7127 build. But only when I use newest NVIDIA drivers. My tv just flashes a few times, and I can see that fish a couple of times, but then it just goes to like no signal. If I use default drivers which are installed on windows install, then it works fine, but then I dont have NVIDIA control panel and some other features.

My video card is GF 8800GTS 650M 512MB DDR3 DUAL DVI TV PCIE. I would like to know if anyone else is having this problem and If it has been fixed in the newest build, so I could be arsed to do a clean install.

Dual Monitor Setup - Fullscreen Goes On Wrong Monitor

Aug 14, 2012

I am running a dual monitor setup with my TV hooked up via HDMI to my laptop.

Everything was working fine before, I always had the laptop as my main display yet I could play a video or a game fullscreen on the TV.

Since a couple of days, as soon as I put something in fullscreen, it immediately goes on my laptop, regardless if it's open on my TV or my laptop. I don't remember changing/installing anything that could've changed that...

I checked a bit in the AMD vision software and the Windows control pannel but I can't seem to solve my problem without switching my TV as the main display. I also made a quick search on google as well as here but the problems were mainly with Flash, which isn't in cause here.

Here are my system specs:

Toshiba Satellite L75D
Windows 7 home premium 64-bit
AMD Radeon 6520G

Dual Monitor Issue, Secondary Monitor Is Undetectable

Jan 6, 2010

I have just did a clean install of Windows 7 ultimate from XP and I am unable to get my dual monitors to work like they did in XP.

I have a DVI Radeon graphics card plugged into the agp slot, and a Nvidia geforce vga adapter plugged into a pci slot of my dell optiplex 755. When I am in the screen resolution settings the second monitor cannot be detected.

In bios I have 2 options under primary video adapter and they are auto, and onboard card. When set to auto the Nvidia card gets a signal but the Radeon does not. There are no conflicts in the device manager, and all of the drivers are up to date.

When I change the bios option to onboard card the Radeon adapter gets a signal but the other monitor cannot be detected and in device manager there is a yellow exclamation mark next to Standard VGA adapter and a code 10 error that states the device could not be started.

I have powered down, and unplugged every cable, I also tried to use the integrated VGA adapter to the Intel G31/G33/Q33/Q35 Graphics Controller but the computer will not even boot. I get

"System Halted

Attention Unsupported Video Configuration Detected"

I have two monitors, both work fine as standalone but Windows will not detect either as a secondary.

Please help me someone, I am so used to having my helpdesk email open in one monitor and all of my other work in the other monitor.

Windows 7 Not Recognizing Second Monitor For Dual Monitor?

Jul 4, 2011

This computer is running an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro. It does support dual monitors...(I've had dual monitors active on this card before, but never on Windows 7.) But since installing windows 7, I can't even get it to detect the second monitor. I want to run the setup with the CRT as the primary monitor and the HD as the secondary.

PCI Graphic Card - OK For Aero ?

Nov 21, 2009

I would like buying a graphic card with a H.264 hardware support for my Pentium 4.

This card will be useful for the next version of Adobe Flash Player (10.1) too.

Unfortunately, my motherboard doesn't have a PCI-E slot : only AGP 4x and PCI 2.2.

It can boot with a PCI card as primary VGA and it also supports PCI 2.1 card.

As Flash 10.1 is more optimized for Nvidia products and the ATI support of their

AGP HD cards is very bad in Windows 7, Vista and even XP (there is no WHQL driver),

I prefer buying a DirectX 10 card from Nvidia. But there is no AGP DirectX 10 Nvidia.

So, I has to choose a PCI (not PCI-E) graphic card.

My current graphic card is a Gigabyte GeForce 6200 AGP 8x.

Windows Aero runs but, for example, "Flip 3D" is pretty slow with a lot of windows.

My next graphic will probably be a EVGA/Sparkle GeForce 9400GT or Albatron 8600GT.

Note : what is the best manufacturer ==> EVGA, Sparkle or Albatron ?

But I wonder about Windows Aero : Isn't a PCI bus too slow for Windows Aero ?

Compared to my GeForce 6200 AGP 8x (running at 4x due to my motherboard),

will 3D Windows GUI (called Aero) be faster or slower with a GeForce 9400GT PCI ?

What about GeForce 8600GT PCI ? I worry because PCI bus is slower than AGP bus.

In short, will there be performance issues with Windows Aero ? Or not ?

Could I sell my GeForce 6200 instead of leaving on my computing (with a PCI card) ?

Graphics Card Does Not Support Aero

May 8, 2012

I built myself a new PC and everything was running fine. Then I decided to change the graphics card from an ASUS Radeon HD 6770 to an ASUS Radeon HD6850 1GB.Upon restart and every restart since, the Aero effects do not work. At first I just figured I hadnt got the right drivers. Games were working fine so I left it alone. Now I've updated all the drivers to the latest ones from the ATI website, 12.4, but the Aero effects still do not work.

Dual Monitor Desktops In One Monitor?

Feb 3, 2011

I'm using a television (32p) as a second monitor in extended mode so that I can watch a movie in the TV and play a game in the monitor (this was my main goal). Monitor and TV lays in two different ambients, both connected to the same pc, one by normal VGA cable and the other by HDMI. I managed to differentiate the audio output so that VLC player sends it's audio to the HDMI (so that only the TV plays it) and the rest of system sounds, media players and games outputs to the speakers (basically only the VLC audio is directed to another output device). I reached my goal so that I can watch a movie fullscreen in the TV and play a game in the monitor fullscreen too without any interference from one another (nor audio or video).

The thing is, because I have the TV in another ambient I can't actually see what's going on in it, as I just "throw" the VLC window to the TV from my main monitor. And here's the question: There's a way to see the TV's desktop in my monitor? Without having to set it as main monitor so to not really switch between desktops.. The perfect thing would be if I could see the TV's desktop in a window like in remote desktops applications.

Video Card Driver Doesn't Support Aero Effects

May 1, 2011

I just recently upgraded Windows 7 Ultimate from Vista Home premium. When I "upgraded" though I chose to completly reinstall my OS.Anyways I used to have transparency, but when I try to get that same effect it says "The current video card may support Aero with a driver that is compliant with the Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM). Contact the manufacturer of your computer or video card for a WDDM-compatible driver."and then when I try to troubleshoot it says "Video card driver doesn't support Aero effects" . I've tried the "Fix it" options, but that doesnt work. I just don't see how transperancy would work on vista but not with windows 7... do I seriously have to purchase a new video card?

Dual Monitor - BSOD

Nov 12, 2009

I have just built a new machine the last three weeks and finally last night I was ready to complete my final transfer from old to new computer. That meant adding my 2nd monitor to my new machine.

My graphics card is a GeForce 9400gt. I have the latest drivers from Nvidia's web site. New machine with Windows 7 has been working for 2 weeks with a single monitor.

Both monitors are fairly new. The graphics card has one DVI and one VGA input so I must set up my dual monitors that way,

My problem is when I hook up my 2nd Monitor I get the BSOD. I will spend 1 more night trying to fix it but that is it.

So my questions are as follows:

1. Does anymore have any ideas why The BSOD comes up when my 2nd monitor is plugged in?

2. Does anyone using Windows 7 have a working graphics card with a dual monitor set up that is working? If so, what card is it? I may be buying one tomorrow.

Dual Monitor Setup

Dec 1, 2009

i have:

Windows XP pro (32 bit)

nVida GeForce FX 5200 has VGA;DVI;SVideo

ok heres what i did b4

i had 2 monitors one vga one and one dvi one and i hooked it up and i had i good dual monitor setup but when ever i loaded some programs the would give me a bsod screen and restart for example fsx dark basic and others that change resolution.

now....

i re installed nvida drivers and there updated (i think)

i have the DVI monitor hooked up right now with 1 display only

i have the desktop manager software enabled and running and the Nvida control pannel running.

and what i want to now is that i want to have a horizontal span setup (reason):

ok well i have seen that FSX can run on 2 monitors and that you can have a really cool display with both displaying images can i do this on a dual monitor setup or not or do i need to get a better card (preferably not)?

What to i do now?

ok so do i go to set up multipul monitors and do it that way or is there another way to do it better theres one last question, well i herd from a friend that in the display options like when you right click in the desktop then goto properties then settings. the friend said that there was an option to enable dual monitor support. before i had my setup i did not see that option and neither do i now im guessing that i don't have 2 monitors hooked up now.

I am obsessed about getting this to work so if i am making any of you people here mad i'm sorry and Thank-You for the help that you have given me recently, btw i got my processor to work and i got it hyperthreaded..

Dual Monitor Support

Mar 2, 2009

Anyway i have 2 22" LCD Monitors and when i plug them in. Windows 7 does this weird thing were when you select the option to extend the desktop spanning from left to right. Instead of simply scrolling from the left screen to the right screen with your hand as you usually would with any OS, Windows 7 BETA somewhat reverses it were you have to scroll to the left from your 1st monitor to get the 2nd monitor. (sorry if this is really confusing im having a differculty writing this also haha)

And if you select your monitor on your left to be your primary monitor, it will wont do that it will move the it to your right monitor instead so i decided to physically switch the monitors around on my desk to get it normal. but i don't like the idea of my computer telling me what to do hahaha.

I know its a beta OS but its still based somewhat on vista. ive got the latest drivers for my graphics card and my graphics card is a NVIDIA 260GTX so its pretty meaty and it can do dual monitor fine on other os's.

Dual Monitor RDP To XP Computer

Aug 8, 2009

I've searched the internet far and wide as well as these forums and have not been able to find the answer. Unfortunately, my sister-in-law's dog killed my 2nd monitor so I haven't been able to test on my own since installing the RC version last week. (new monitor will arrive next week)

My question:

If you RDP in Windows 7 from a computer with dual monitors to an XP computer with dual monitors is the multimon support available?

I want the session to feel as though I'm at work with dual monitors.... not just spanning the 2 monitors. My work computer runs windows xp.

Currently the only way to get this functionality in xp is to use the span command and to use add-in 3rd part software that does not work that great.

SiS671 Mirage3 - NO AERO But W/o Drivers = AERO

Oct 18, 2009

I am currently looking a way to enable Aero in my machine. (as note, currently I am missing the Aero Glass, Aero Peek, and Aero Flip.

I did a clean install of Windows 7 on the machine. Because my screen is WideScreen, at first the graphics are all large and mushy. But at this point I HAVE AERO!

Then, I installed the driver for the gfx card, which was SIS UniVGA3 v.3.85. After installing and restarting, I get the normal resolution (1280x800) but NO AERO.

I thought this was driver problem, so I downloaded UniVGA5 v5.07, UniVGA5 v5.20 (which is the driver for Windows7, according to the site), and the SiS driver update from Windows Update, all of which didn't enable Aero for me.

I am completely stumped on this. I just don't get why the heck I get Aero WITHOUT driver, but no Aero with drivers.

Dual Monitor And Moving Windows Around

Jan 23, 2013

okay so I am at work and whenever I want to maximize a window to fill the left side of the monitor, it for some reason maximizes and centers in between both the monitors. Does anyone know how to fix this? I know that probably didn't make much sense, but I attached a picture to show what I am talking about. I was trying to maximize this window by dragging clicking it at the top and dragging it all the way to the top to maximize, but it centers in the middle?
