nebukunezzer Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 I was wondering if you guys could give me any suggestions for video cards that will support dual monitor functionality in osx 10.4.8. I have searched the component lists and it doesn't have too much info regarding dual monitors. I removed my ati x700 pro because I could not QE/CI to work. I installed a Nvidia geforce 6200 and got QE/CI to work! Now my monitors are not mirrored anymore only one is on the other is off. Both monitors are plugged in, but there is no setting in the display properties to enable dual monitor support or extended desktop. Any suggestions for fixing this or do I need to try a different video card. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebukunezzer Posted September 1, 2007 Author Share Posted September 1, 2007 Please, if the card I am using is not able to support dual monitors, could you recommend some that do? Preferably in the $100 range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotoh Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 it depends on what nvidia enabler you're using. You may have to play with NVCAP values Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebukunezzer Posted September 2, 2007 Author Share Posted September 2, 2007 I got dual monitor support working by installing Diabolik's Natit Dual v.02 Installer from his website http://diabolik1605.com/DHF/index.html Thank god for Google, because the search function here sucks ass.

rhalls Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Please tell me anyone why it is so hard to search dor "+dual +monitor" with the search function of the forum... And read some of the threads listed there.... o.k., it seems to be easier to just ask a question that was asked many times before again... so dont wonder first no one reponds... NVidia Geforce 7300GS or GT and 7600GS and GT with 256 MB seem to be the best way at the moment. They work under most conditions with Natit 0.1, 0.2 or universal. Links to the drivers can be found when you search as mentioned: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?act...dual+%2Bmonitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdm102 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 is there less expensive video cards than ATI x1950xt (x1900xt) which will definitely work in dual display mode via dvi outputs on both displays without dvi->vga convertors? i'm in search for working 2dvi-card solution which will not require dvi->vga convertor.. just wanna use both of my LG L204WT displays via dvi outputs in digital mode.
