Can I run 3 monitors on a Gigabyte G41M-Combo via its integrated GMA X4500 and another dual-head video card?

Most motherboards disable the integrated graphics card when a dedicated one is found. For those that don't, there an easy workaround: forcing the BIOS to use the integrated video card as primary will result in Windows recognizing both of them, thus enabling a multiple-display setup. I'd be interested in buying this mobo but i need to know for sure if i can run 3 monitors on it. I'd really appreciate if someone who ownes a GA-G41M-Combo could actually test this and post an answer. Thank you.|||Even if you can get the onboard and a separate video card to work simultaneously, it is a VERY clunky way to do things. The presence of two different sets of video card driver software are bound to cause conflicts, and you might see a lot of system instability.



The best, most seamless way to drive three monitors is to use ONE SINGLE VIDEO CARD that supports triple monitors. Just buy one of those. Any of the DisplayPort-equipped AT HD5000- or HD6000-series video cards can drive triple monitors, and your G41 motherboard can accept one of those cards.|||No...the minute you plug in a video card you lose the on board. CrossfireX has the ability to use the on board in conjunction with the video card but that board doesn't support it. forcing the bios to stay on the on-board graphics in anything i tried wouldn't let me use the video card and in the instances that it did wouldn't let me control the card.
