Thread: Multi-Monitor configuration

Hello. It is calculated to aid in the next issue.

I work with photography, and to minimize Photoshop window to display the windows folder and other stuff is not very convenient. There are 2 monitors Dell 2407WFP-HC, some time ago acquired Nix additionally monitor Samsung XL20 XEB specifically for photos. Connected to the graphics card ASUS GTX280. Samsung has not yet been connected. How do I arrange the withdrawal of three, but rather a four-monitor (bought four - 17 "to display the folders and messengers, and other garbage)? Motherboard GA P965-DQ6, Can purpose an additional graphics card, if so, how such a configuration would behave in such a multi-monitors if 2 Monica 1920h1200 one 1600х1200 another 1280x1024 pixels?

How to set up, so be it.

Nothing incredible in your idea is not; it is quite realistic and achievable.

Thank you very much.

Another issue regarding the card for extra monitors, what graphics card advice? I have a stockpile of old iron is Sapphire X1950Pro 512Mb PCI-E. I am merely in theory; it seems that it is suitable for my purposes, like any other video card. But whether there is any conflict in the drivers, etc.? Since I initially set the ball all the same graphics card, rather than adapt that lie ownerless, would it not better to buy something in a couple of GeForce to that already is, or is it too much reinsurance?

Of the minuses of such a decision could be observed except that the absence of a single point for the settings and excessive strain on BP. But try to configure and cost.

You really forgive me of my importunity, is not it not just in this world that can get something free, especially as a valuable practical advice. But I am so up to the end and did not understand Radeon or GeForce?

I meant that the paste existing Radeon.

Do not like it, buy it instead of the cheaper GeForce 9th series.

How to do this multimonitornoy configuration to switch between monitors? At no time do not connect more than 1 monitor, although, as I see, manufacturers are already quite a long time stamped by 2 outputs on the card...

On the desktop, the latest in Properties tab, choose a monitor (if more than 1) and put the box Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor. Then have to move monitors, change the mouse to put a personal permission and is configured so large virtual desktop.

Well these settings I have seen.

So that would be 1 big wide desktop, virtually divided into multiple monitors?

Wondered how it is convenient in practice...

Very convenient. Even the staff of windsurfing. The window is set to full screen only in the 1st screen. But through the wood (NVIDIA exactly, I do not like AIT) can be done so that some programs (notepad, outlook, total) run on one monitor at each other. Or watch a movie on a full screen and at the same time to do something on another. It might even be some games to run on only one monitor will be visible on another system, such as a long process is seen as changing, and does not interfere with each other. Other words: nothing tried once multi-monitor on conventional machines feel flawed...
