I have an EVGA 6800 GT with 2 DVI outputs

I can't seem to get it to work, I have 2 1905FPs and only one works. I've swapped em so that each one has been the main and they both work, but not at the same time. Any ideas?

In your display properties.

There is an option for outputting multiple displays.


Right Click-> Props -> Settings -> Advanced -> 6800GT -> nView -> Dual Display.

Cheers.

hmm, trying that but still running into a brick wall. everything shows that the 2nd monitor should be working. is there some setting in nview that I should enable somewhere?

Is it set to Mirror the display or Span?

That should be just about everything that you need.

Any luck?

There should be an option in your Display properties, settings tab. For your 2nd monitor, check "extend desktop onto this monitor". I have an X800XL, and that's what I did for mine. Also, I researched multitasking on nvidia cards and many ppl reported drastic slowdowns when you use 2 monitors at the same time. That's why I went w/ the ATI card. I had the 9800pro on dual displays and it worked great. Nvidia hasn't been good to me in the past, but who knows, it might just be me.

ok, here is the deal. the evga 6800 I had is a limited edition and I had it flashed with a GT bios (for better speeds). Looks like the GT bios didn't support the dual output, so I reflashed the bios with an Ultra bios and it is working now. Thanks for all the help guys.
