So, how is this supposed to work?

[alexsabree]

I want to have more than two screens..

But my graphics card only has two , but I want to have more screens.
Can I buy a PCI graphics card and use it to output the extra screens?

^yes....i haven't actually tried it but have heard it can be done on several forums. I'm going to be trying it soon.

thats exactly what you do...

i have a pci card. works great

 

[alexsabree]

Two more questions:
What about compatibility?
Like ati+nvidia...

Will it reduce performance by much?

 

[veg1992]

Not at all

 

[Luke]

nope no performance reduction of compatibility issues.

 

[alexsabree]

Alright I'm set to go, ill be buying a weak pci card now and hold off until Nvidia/ATi release their new cards. Then I will be able to use all my screens

Hopefully I can wait that long

Thanks guys.

I imagine that even using a seperate card for seperate screens will have no decrease in performance say watching a movie on one and playing a game on the other.

^probably but i don't know how you could possibly watch movie and play a game and get the just of what your doing/seeing at the same time. But i know you were speaking hypothetically.
