can i have a agp video card plug in and still use my onboard video for dual motoring...?

Question

Im trying to run two monitor at the same time, I have a onboard video and want to install a agp into the slot and them both working....is this possible?

Answer 1

You can only if your video card itself in question supports dual monitors. I have a DVI AGP card that runs one monitor and the onboard VGA runs another. Which most DVI video cards support this but, if you are using both are VGA out. It might not...thanks

Answer 2

Multiple graphical cards should work if your OS supports it (old windows versions have trouble with multiple graphical cards/monitors).

However, the on-board VGA should not be sharing the AGP slot's electronics, and that can be checked in the manual of the motherboard. [It's very likely that AGP based boards do share it, and need the on-board to be disabled before they allow a card in the AGP slot.

Answer 3

It should work, but if not and it gets too complicated to figure out, just buy a video card with dual VGA jacks on it. A good place to look would be tigerdirect.com

Answer 4

i'm uncertain of onboards if the mobo particularly shuts the circuit you have not any thank you to apply it, and in basic terms Linux i understand can likely do what you meant as a protracted pc using 2 separate drivers no crap on SLI or Crossfire; I performed on having an NV TNT2 AGP with ATI Mach64 PCI driving a protracted Linux pc for the period of two reveal screen instruments, even now abode windows can in basic terms have one reveal driving force lively opposite to what Linux's GUI could do years in the past, and hybrid Crossfire for the period of buses would not yet exist.

Answer 5

Most of the time this will work fine. You'll only know for sure by trying.
