| | Two Graphics Cards Hi I have a Dell XPS and am trying to run three monitors from two graphics cards. I have a Geforce 8400 graphics card and an ATI Sapphire Graphics card. When I plug both in, one is using a pci express 16 slot and one is using a pci express 1 slot, there is no monitor signal. I have tried the graphics card in the pci express 1 slot by itself and that does not work either. Can anyone help, I have seen lots of conflicting info on the forums.

| | Do you have the right drivers installed for each card? nvidia will not (by default) allow an ATI card to be the primary video card. With a single card in the pci-e x1 slot, do you get a signal in safe mode? |

| | Plugging one of them into a PCIe x1 slot is probably not a good idea. If you check the minimum system requirements for each card I think you'll find a x1 slot isn't an acceptable option. |

| | What XPS DELL do you have and your specs don't include what your PSU is rated for, a bit more info if you please. |

| | As far as I know.. most graphics cards are made for x16 slots |

| | I have been told that I would need two graphics cards that are the same and even then I am not sure if the pci 1 slot will work so I think I will go for a usb external graphics card just to be sure. |
