Duel screen plus TV q?

[thearc]

Evening all..

I'm currently running duel screen off ati 4870x2 more than happy with this. although im getting tired of having to keep unplugging one screen and connect TV up when i want to watch a movie..

If i install another ATI card either crossfire or not or an nvidia card in the 2nd pci-e slot to give me another monitor output?

so ie keep my existing duel screen running but also have the lcd on aswell so 3 screen.. I dont want to have to buy a 3 head card you see.. just want to add to what i have..

:)

cheers

6. Can I use the CrossFire platform to drive multiple displays?

A. Yes, the CrossFire platform will work with ATI SurroundView™ multi-monitor technology to enable up to 5 separate displays when not running in CrossFire mode.

Apparently each extra card will support two displays

Ok cool.. minimum card for 1080p?

ACtually that makes no difference,.. i can just run the lcd tv from port 2 on 4870x2 and run the 2nd monitor on just a cheap ati card right? its only for dreamweaver/outlook/word ect ect.

Ok will this do the job?

11125-00-21R - 256MB Sapphire HD 3450 PCI-E 2.0, 1000MHz GDDR2 600MHz GPU, 40 Cores, DVI-I/HDTV/D-Sub HDCP Ready - Scan.co.uk

HD3450 can this work alongside the 4870x2??
