2 Video Cards, 4 Monitors, quad-view?
I have a foxxcon motherboard with 2 PCI video card slots.
The 'blue' slot one is my NVIDIA 8800 GTS 640mb with attached cooling system. And to it I have a 22" LCD Widescreen, and a 19" CTR monitor, currently using NIVIDIA control pannel in dual-view. Works great with Keyclone.
I'm going for a 4 monitor setup, I have tried putting in a PCI ATI video card in the 'black' PCI slot, but... the computer can't find the card without updating the drivers. But if I update the drivers, it overwrites the NVIDIA drivers, and this process repeats itself over and over regardless of how I attempt to get both video cards together. So no go.
I have read in many places that using 2 NVIDIA cards of the same series would work for quad-view. In other words, another 8800 gts, or a 8500, just another 8 series. But I have actually spoken with my motherboards creators, and they said it wouldn't work because a while ago Intel didn't want to pay for licensing so more then 1 NVIDIA card will not be compatible with that foxxcon motherboard, and they suggested to switch to 2 ATI cards as it would work for 4 monitors with that. But I don't want to switch, I like my NIVIDIA card.
Anyone have suggestions. The motherboard also does not support SLI.
And a second question: I'm tri-boxing 3 shamans, I currently have my 2 slaves running on my 2nd 80g HD, and both drives has winXP on it, would wiping the 2nd HD and just having World of Warcraft on it make the 2 slaves run faster?
And a third question: When I use picture-in-picture with Keyclone, my slave from a 19" CTR monitor moves to the 22" widescreen and swaps with my main, they have different monitor sizes, and the configuration goes all funny, is there a way to set each configuration for both the monitors and have it save? Or should I set up 'widescreen' look on the CTR monitor thats the same proportions/scale?
And the final question: My main is 70, my 2 slaves are 40, what Instance would be better, Zul'Farrak, Sunken Temple, or Black Rock Depths? Or would questing at this point be faster. I'm not linked with Recruit a Friend, I missed the start of it... I upgraded my accounts to standard from trial 45 minutes before they advertised the new Recruit a Friend system :( Currently I get about 11% exp from a full Zul'Farrak run for my level 40's, and it takes about 45 minutes to clear it.
Thanks for reading!
