I seem to remember the box for my Ti4600 advertizing that it could display to two monitors AND a TV. I cannot get it to do better than two monitors OR one monitor and a TV despite the fact there's enough ports for everythign. Also, for the life of me I cannot get it to NVRotate the picture displayed on the TV, yet it works fine on the monitor... losing faith in nView...

Any thoughts?
 
AFAIK the GF4 Ti can't support 2 screens and a TV at once. I don't believe the GF FXs or any of the Radeon cards can either.
Some Matrox boards can do this- Parhelia, Millenium P750 (maybe the 650... not sure), MMS Quad boards. Except for the quad output cards they're a bit crippled in triple screen mode. Max res of 1280x1024 per screen, etc.
Save your sanity and just get some sort of PCI card for your third (and perhaps 4th) display.
 
Do you know of any TV output cards that can rotate the display? I've been half-heartedly looking for one but haven't been able to find one.
 
You *might* be able to get the card to do 2 monitors and a TV if one of the monitors has a DVI connector.

The problem is that the card only has 2 RAMDACs. ('Only' - heh - only Matrox makes cards with more), so you can only have 2 'analog' signals going out of it. The traditional CRT adapter is analog, and, of course, TVs are analog. The DVI output on the card does allow for digital-only out, so, in theory (don't know that the driver supports this), TV + CRT + DVI-CRT (or DVI-LCD) should work.
