2nd Monitor has graphics glitches..?

mikel33 · Jan 9, 2008

Hi,

I have 2 monitors hooked up to an X850XT. My primary monitor is a 19" LCD and the other is a 17" CRT.

When I try to maximize some programs on the second monitor, the graphics looked corrupted. Maximizing is fine on the LCD (Primary).

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Asus A8VDeluxe

Can you be a little more specific on the "look corrupted" part" ?

Actually, It's not just when I maximize..

Are both monitors set at the same resolution? If not, try that. I had some issues using two monitors that were at different resolutions.

If they are, then try switching the monitors and see if the same thing happens with the 17 inch as the primary.

Nah, It doesn't fix the issue...

Mixing a LCD and CRT might not mix.. thats what im thinkin

Try setting the monitors at the same reolution AND the same refresh rate.
Don't know if it will work, but it is something to try.

Running a second desktop pushes your GPU harder. Sometimes driver bugs are not reported on 2nd GPU so often... so they dont get fixed

1. Are you stock or overclocked?

2. What drivers are you using. UPgrade, or downgrade to 6.11

That crt is not going to keep up with that lcd ever, for 2d work I still think crt is better
