I have a 22" monitor on my desk with a 32" samsung hdtv above it, sometimes I watch films on the tv with the pc...

Can I still do that with the 9800gx2 without having to switch between tv dvi cable and monitor dvi cable ( as in switching between monitor 1 and 2, only using one screen at a time) or do I have to switch dvi cables everytime I want use the tv or monitor?

What I am trying to say is, can I switch between monitors using display settings in windows?

try installing drivers for the monitor first...i usually go to the nvidia control panel to change displays. Also, doesnt the 9800gx2 have an HDMI port?

It looks like display 2 is greyed out. You may need to 'enable' the second display so your PC recognizes you have two. You def shouldn't need to be physically changing cables.

Thanks...

I havent got the card yet, was going to get 2 x 8800gts's but for €60 more I might as well get a card that can be sli'd again....

You can switch between both and because its got 2 cores you can just use one for each if you want both at the same time with good performance.

Cool....

Could I play games on the 32" tv like I did 8800gtx sometimes, while keeping all its performance?
