Hi,

I've just got a new system with dual video cards (6950) and have got a second monitor to go with it. The trouble is that both monitors are 30" and windows won't let me run them both at their native resolution (2560 x 1600).

From what I can understand, each video card seems to have a maximum resolution, which may mean it can't support two monitors at such a high level. However, I've got a second card so in my not too tech savvy mind, that should double the resolution available?

I've tried connecting one of the monitors to the second card, but just get a blank screen, even though the card is working fine.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as the monitors look crappy at lower resolutions.

Cheers,

Andy
