Hi. I run 2 monitors, and use them for things like 3dmax and cad. I recently came across a new and better nvidia quadro video card but it only allows one monitor. My old dell pos computer only has one pcie x16 slot, so i modified an old video card to fit an unused pcie x8 slot. So I have a decent video card and a pos video card (also a quadro but older), each with one monitor connected.
Can anyone explain what the computer is doing with this? Say I'm running max on one screen and cad on the other, is the gpu from the nice card available to both, or does it depend on which screen the application is on? Are the memory and gpu from both cards available to any application? Is the older video card limiting the performance of the new one at all?
