Dual Monitor Problem
Just bought a new graphics card and monitor in addition to my current monitor and integrated GPU.

The new card is an ATI Radeon HD 4670 and the internal is an
ATI Radeon HD 3200.

I want to run dual monitors but it doesn't want to happen. The new card seems to have taken over from the internal one which now won't run a monitor.

Device manager is displaying only one device under monitors and display adapters (the new card).

Display Settings is showing two monitors (none of the options for the monitor that is not working work).

Catalyst Control Centre shows just one monitor.

I have installed drivers for both the integrated and the new card.

A friend said something about a PCI Bus conflict and that I should just get a DVI adapter and use the new card to run both screens but i'd like to try and get both cards working!

Appreciate any ideas!

I dont think you can use an internal card and a pci card or what ever it is at the same time its one or the other becuase the internal would have to be disabled to run the new card.

Running dual monitors means you have to run them from the same card you cant run an onboard and a pci at the same time.

Make sure that the integrated video card is enabled in the bios when a pci e video card is present.

Oh thats weird I have a PCI e card running and use the integrated at the same time. Maybe it is something your board doesn't support?
