[Turkish G]

Hey guys,,,

I found this graphics card on Ebay and rushed into buying it coz it was so cheap....but now i can see that it does not have a TV out port (which i use a lot)

My old graphics card did......can i use both of them at the same time...1 for gaming and what not and the other for just watching what i have on my pc on my tv?

Is there anyway around this?

Cheers for ya help guys... :cheers:

If both of them are PCI cards then yes.
If both of them are AGP cards then no.
If one is a PCI card and the other and AGP then yes.
If both of them are PCE Express then it matters if your motherboard supports it (SLI, etc..)

And this is considering that you have the empty slots to do so.

This is as clear as i can be with the information you provided, next time please include more information such as the video cards, and your motherboard model.

That is an AGP card also. Most (if not all) motherboards come with only 1 AGP slot so you are out of luck.

It is unwise to purchase something without knowing if it is compatable with your comp.

And btw, just because it has more memory does not mean it is better. Your Geforce 4 GPU/RAM is runing at a higher clock speed then the Geforce 2.

Good luck.
