5 WoWs, 2 Vid cards, 3 monitors - performance issues..

[Frappuccino]

After some poking around with maximizer with manually setting stuff in the config file due to the display numbering changing when you swap primary monitors, I managed to get it working !

Thanks everyone!

(though if anyone knows about the hdmi thing I'm all ears !)

/edit .. ok i pulled the plastic thing off the 3rd port, its a hdtv connector not a hdmi port /slapsself

HDMI is what your t.v. uses, DVI is what a computer monitor uses. they are the same signal except HDMI also carries an audio signal. if your monitors don't have speakers or you want to use external speakers than you don't need HDMI, DVI is what you need. this is the reason monitors with speakers have HDMI connections and monitors without just have DVI. just get a connector to switch the plug from HDMI to DVI. they cost $5-$10.

This is true. I was under the impression that it was an HDMI port at the back of the video card (it's not) until I pulled the plastic bit off the back of the port on the video card - it's an HDTV output cable.

The reason I brought it up is because windows doesn't let me use both video cards at full performance because the secondary one won't render using the hardware. The other reason is because the video card has only 2 dvi ports, not 3

It doesn't matter now, I'm switching my primary monitor (as shown by danash) now so it's all good and working top notch. I had to manually change the conf file for maximizer since all 5 sessions have to be set to one display and I just set each monitor to primary when I open the sessions on those monitors. It's too bad I can't use PiP but it's a worthwhile sacrifice.

Cheers.
