Secondary graphic card - implications?
#1
Hi,

I am considering getting a GT430 card to put in as a secondary card in my main computer and use that for XBMC (through HDMI).

Two things springs to mind:

1. Will XBMC see this 3rd screen? My main card (GTX580) is running two monitors. I have a vague recollection of an earlier version of XBMC seeing only the first two screens when I had two graphic cards running in an previous setup.

2. Will there be any issues with graphic acceleration? For example, I believe DirectX only accelerates the primary display(?)

Any input is much appreciated.

Cheers.

I can give you my little experience. I was running a GTX580 for my gaming needs and a gt520 for xbmx and had no problems as long as I didnt try to play BF3 whilst the missus watched a blu-ray rip Big Grin
