| 1293870 | 2012-08-10 11:02:00 | Hi there, I have 2 monitors on a an ATI Radeon HD 5450. I don't do any gaming so don't need a high end graphics card. For some reason one of the monitors which is connected though the DVI port keeps going to sleep. I have to turn it off and then on again and then a few minutes later it goes to black and I have to turn it off and on again. The other monitor which connects through the VGA port has no problems. I also have integrated grapgics. Can I run one monitor through the card and the other through the onboard graphics? Thanks, I appreciate any idea. Best regards |

| 1293873 | 2012-08-10 11:48:00 | The monitor itself might be faulty if you have to turn it off and back on again. Try it on another PC and see if it does the same thing. With regards to running multiple video cards and monitors, I'm pretty sure you can actually do that with Windows, but it will be up to the video card drivers if they actually support it or not. |

| 1293875 | 2012-08-10 12:42:00 | I think it's more of a laptop thing, having the integrated and discrete graphics running. Alternatively you could have gpu's from the same series (ie the 5770, 5750) running together, and I think Nvidia lets you use a card for dedicated physics processing, but beyond that seperating the gpu's I don't think is possible. | 8ftmetalhaed (14526) | ||
