P5QPL-AM +GF9500GT & onboard vga???

[robertl932]

Trying to run 3 monitors on Win7x64SP1:
2 DVI monitors from the GF9500GT card (currently) and 1 from the on board VGA port.
VGA Monitor/Adapter is not recognized in Device Manager.
I don't see in bios where to enable/disable on board video adapter.
Is it possible to use the 9500GT card and the on board at the same time for a 3 monitor/display output, or do I need to buy another Nvidia card for 3,4th displays?

Thanks,
Robert

nvidia cards cant handle tree monitors on one card , so yes you have to get another card, but , you should'nt try to put two monitors one one 9500GT.

my own 9500GT while overclocked struggles in games at 1400*900 resolution on a single monitor.

I currently have 2 on a 9500gt pcix16, and another 1 on a 6200 pci. All are DVI and work well with Ultramon (DisplayFusion still having some taskbar issues). But yes, I figured the answer to this Mboard is that any graphics on the pci bus disables the onboard.
I find the 9500 handles two monitors extremely well, even using Win7.
Thanks.

He did not say anything about using multiple monitors for games. Most multi-monitor setups are done for non-gaming setups. If one was trying to setup a 3 monitor setup for games, they'd know enough to replace the 9500 with a new high-end card, the 9500 was bad for games when new much less now.
