Right now I'm running an ancient Matrox g550. I am going to be upgrading to a parhelia in the near future though.

Is there a way to play a movie across both monitors? I mean I know there's a bar in the middle, but can it be done? If I stretch a window across both screens the video only renders to one monitor and the other is just blank. Thanks in advance for any help.

I will try to enable reduced blanking interval. The printscreen that I viewed on another computer did not show any problems at all so I'm not sure what that means... but it seems like it's an outrageous amount of dead pixels on my screen... and they don't always appear in the same place, they...

lol... if only it was that simple... would it help if I took a photo of it an posted it online, or am I the only person who something like this has ever happened to?

crap load would mean about 5% of my entire screen... and I had 0 problems with my other card

Yes, I'm sure. I got rid of that driver before I installed the other one. Even if I hadn't though, why would the driver affect the computer in the bios?

Ok, I recently replaced a matrox g550 with an xfx geforce fx5700 ultra card in hopes of getting dual dvi monitors as well as be able to actually play some modern games. I now have it up and running on my Dell 2000Fp LCD, but I have these hideous multicolored pixels all over the place on the...

Thanks man!!

That looks great! This just keeps getting more expensive though... sigh... seems that's how it always is...

So what does one of these cost and where can I get one (preferably one that's fairly compact)? The optical will do Dolby Digital 5.1 though right? Thanks

how about something with DTS decoding too?

I was just curious what the best soundcard with an optical out would be if my budget was around $200. I'd like to hook it up to my Logitech z680's. Thanks

I meant it only goes up to that resolution on that particular matrox card. sorry for the confusion

The reason is the DVI only goes up to 1280x1024 as far as I was aware.

I was wondering what the best video card is that has a 1600x1200 output for DVI. My computer is not at all geared towards gaming, most all of my work is in Adobe Photoshop, Premiere, or After Effects. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd prefer to spend less than $200 if possible. Thanks!
