October 21, 200223 yr Hi,For now I have only 2 computers here.Anyone tried to run magenta in 2 or 3 video cards in the same computer ? (FS is running in another computer)Thanks,Ulisses
October 21, 200223 yr I've got PM software running the Captain's Display and the EICAS system. I'm using a 500Mhz PII with a dual-head video card. You could try using 2 separate cards, but the chipsets will need to match as well as the drivers.I just bypassed that potential nightmare and bought a dual-head card. Works great! Ray S.

October 21, 200223 yr Hi,I have one computer running three monitors with all of the magenta software running fine. The PC has an ATI Dual Head card, and an nVidia Geforce2. The ATI monitors run the EICAS and the PFD, and the GeForce runs the MCDU and FMC. Everything runs just fine and dandy.Dave
October 21, 200223 yr Dang!...and all 3 are running in Accelerated mode? Scared of you! ;-)I may just slap another vid card in my 500Mhz system and see what happens Ray S. Check out my aviation portfolio: http://scottshangar.net
October 22, 200223 yr Well, only the EICAS and PFD are accelerated, I dont think the MCDU needs acceleration. Under Win2K, only the primary display is accelerated, but with a multi-head card you can make windows believe that two monitors are actually just one big one, so both displays wind up being accelerated (under OpenGL - which is what Magenta is using). The GeForce card, I dont know if its accelerated (and I dont care really either), but I suspect it isnt. But with the config I have it doesnt matter at all.Dave
