How many video outputs?
Hello experts!
Can anyone tell me from their experience, can I have a TV out and TWO monitor outputs at the same time on the same card? Failing that, could I get a separate TV card and undock windows to that card, while still having both monitor outputs from the 'main' graphics card? I think I saw somewhere here that the first option does not work.....hopefully the second one will!
Thanks in advance guys,
Nigel.I can't see the light but I think I found the tunnel...

I haven't tried that but I seem to recall that when you select dual monitors the TV out is disabled. I use 3 video cards and 5 outputs. In windowed mode all undocked views will stay on the monitors just fine, however when I go to full screen mode I only have 4 of the outputs seen by FS9. The fifth with whatever is undocked goes to another screen. I'm using only 1 PC and NVidia cards.

Sorted
Thanks for the replies, guys. That both answers my question and solves my problem. And extra TV card should not break the back I think!
The project moves forward another teeny step....

I think that if your video card has a TV out connector then you could connect both monitors to a matrox dualhead2ToGo. In this way both monitors are connected to one DVI and if connecting the TVOut disconnects the second DVI this would have no impact for you.

Re: How many video outputs?
Any motherboard with multiple 16x PCI Express 2.0 mechanical slots. They are typically refered to as SLI or CrossFire capable motherboards. My particular motherboard has 4 Geforce GTX260 video cards in it. There are versions of motherboards that allow up to 7 video cards to be installed. The ASUS P6T7 WS and the EVGA 4X X58 Classified are the best of class in that category. 3 and 4 slot video card capable motherboards are quite common nowadays, although they do come with a price premium, as they are typically workstation or entheusiast class hardware.
