Hi,

I have got a question:

Is there a videocard with 2 DVI connectors and
nVidia 5900 chipset available?

Best Regards
Thorsten

I want to connect two flat panels (1600 x 1200) to
the video card.

Or did I misunderstood your question?

http://www.matrox.com/ not as well know as ATI And Nvidia cards. I
read good thing about them. There not as powerful as ATi and Nvidia.
I wish Nvidia and ATI would pic up on there lead and offer some
cards with multi monitor support. with the price of CRT's And LCD's
i think it would be worth ther effort. If you want more monitor
space. Look at a good CRT monitor. They still outpreform LCD, Lcd
have the tendancy to lag on fast frame moving games. I think there
only about three or four makers of the tubs for the monitor.

dvi Digital video input. It what higher end LCD use for picture.
Most older and some CRT monitor use Older style inputs. I think
there a way convert A regular anolog oput to DVI with a cheap
adapter. I pretty sure that eventully when PCI come main stream your
going to be able to have to video cards in one system. Currently the
only way i've heard of people doing it now is through A AGP Card and
then a PCI video card. I know the've got a card out there. Im
Thinking matrox that has support to handle 4 monitors.

Just about every ATI and nvidia based board made in the past 4 years or so
except the All-In-Wonders has multiple monitor support.

Depends on the LCD and if you're using a Matrox board then the monitor
lagging in games is not going to be an issue because the board's going to
be lagging a lot worse.

Uh, Peppy, learn to use a USENET newsreader.

You think wrong. Such an adapter costs about $300US.

Uh, PCI became mainstream about eight years ago. There is no obstacle to
having two video boards, or three, or four in your system, as long as you
have free PCI slots for them.

Or two PCIs. But you only do that if you need more than two monitors.

However it's based on a chip that is ancient even by Matrox standards.

There don't appear to be any dual-DVI 5900s but there are dual-dvi 5700s and
6800s.
