Hey guys i have a question.

I trade stocks for a living and currently i run two different computers to trade.
I have 8800 gtx in each.
Is there away to use one 8800GTX (can it support two monitors?) to combine the two monitors into one and just have a one enlarged monitor (made up of two 22" LCD side by side)?

If so, how can this be achieved?

Lastly how do i connect the two screens? what cable or accessories do i need?

I have a brother who needs a video card, so i want to give him one if this can be achieved.

thanks alot in advanced.
thank you.

-P.K.
 
yes there is a way to hook the two up.....idk about to one cable but i know that you can hook one up to each of the outputs on your video card and then but them side by side......then all you need to do is configure your nvidia display settings to i think its a side-by-side or duel-view and it will make it so you can scroll between the two monitors....
 
thanks guys.

last question, i dont know if this has been answered already.

so all this can be done using just one video card?
 
It will work fine, you don't need any hardware/software that you don't already have. You can simply go to Properties and set up your screen resolution and your good to go.

One optional piece of software that I personally can't live without is UltraMon.. it's awesome... a great addition to dual display goodness.. there is a free 30 day trial, give it a shot and see what you think..
 
Yeh ultramon is great, the best part is extending the start menu, well worth the money.
 
in the control panel for the gtx there is a page or 2 with settings for this. you can set one card up to run 2 displays as clone (same on both) dualview (different on each) or stretch (stretched across both)
