    Default 3 Screens?

    Hello,

    I have got a new graphics card which I put in my computer and I am using the two outputs.... Now I still the the original graphics card and I want to enable that as well so I can have 3 screens. But I can try plug one in and it doesn't show up, when I installed my new card I think it disabled the other one... is there anyway to re enable it for a 3rd screen?

    I think you'd have to either have two GFX cards or;
    Buy a tripple head 2 go (1 output > TH2G > Three screens)
    or
    Buy a double head 2 go (2 output (1 to monitor, 1 to DH2G > 2 monitors)

    if you get me?

    If the old one is an onboard card built in to the motherboard then most don't allow you to have it enabled while there is a proper graphics card installed.

    If not an it's a second card plugged in to a PCI or PCI-E slot then that's different.

    Can't you use a VGA splitter or does this just duplicate it?

    As LukeBateson suggested, you could use a double head 2 go.

    Alternatively, if you have PCI-E slots which aren't being used, you should be able to add an additional graphics card there.
