I have a 30" and 19" lcd. 7900gs.
If I'll set it to be able to have it in extended mode with different resolution.
Now if it's set like this,all monitors get 19"'s resolution(1280x1024).
I want to have a dell at it's native and 19" at it's native

I'm not sure if its possible while using Dual link with that huge display but there is a setting in nvidia control panel that allows for diff resolutions on diff displays.

So the 30" requires dual link DVI input to do native res. That leaves you with exactly zero DVI connectors on that 7900GS left to plug in your 19. Or so it would seem.

Once again: Dual link DVI does NOT equal using two DVI connectors. It is one DVI connector with twin datapaths inside.

Does the X800XT PE even support dual link at all? stockriderman - try disabling the second screen and running just the 30" dell at its native 2560X1600. I'm not 100% sure if the X800 series has dual-link DVI.

I know the X1800 series and newer do...
