Hi there,
I am a quite long user of this forum, however unitl now I had no account here. Because I couldnt find an answer to my question, I decided to join and ask for help. I hope I will have an occasion to give the favor back.
On the topic side, I have an unusual problem with usual thing - I want to build dual graphic cards configuration without SLI for three outputs. I have read many topics that it is possible, and I seen such configuration myself. None of the topics provided any solution in more complicated cases. I want to ask how to configure that because I encountered some issues. Here is what I have done till now:
Config of computer:
HP Z800 dual Xeon, 1100W (1250W) power supply, 24GB RAM and Quadro FX3800. Monitors are two Z2440W and single LP2475W. Tried with GeForce 750Ti as a second card. Computer have 4 or 5 hard drives (I forgot
). System Windows 7 64bit.
I want to extend the build to second graphic card. I tried this with GeForce GTX750Ti, but computer did not allow for that. Graphic driver went crazy and didnt started second card. It was present in Devices Manager, but there were no output signal. Nvidia Nview and the other manager wasnt starting, and if started once per few tries i crashed down immediately. Of course drivers was reinstalled and installed, cards were swithched between ports (both times first x16 port were working) and BIOS setting was set to first X16 bootable, second passive. I dont know any further settings I should change.
I think the key for this is to mount same second card and then it should be possible a lot easier. I called my pal who is very experienced with those things, he said he have done this once on training with 12 monitors connected to workstation (Z800 or Z820). It is possible the reinstallation of OS is required but I would prefer to avoid that.
Can someone advise me with that before I will buy another quadro? Maybe someone had an occasion to configure such thing.
Other possible issue is that this mainboard (Z800) is pretty unique, it has two chipsets which have some pros but may have cons such as configuration problems. Here is some additional info.

Edit: forgot to mention, I wanted to have DVI on LP and on the other card two DP or DP and DVI.
Kind regards, John
