Who makes the best dual head.

[The PIT]

I've got a feeling whos going to win this one.

[The PIT]

Well matrox is running away with it very rapidly.

What did you expect:

It would be like posting which card is fastest on Rage3D and giving FX, Parhelia and R9800 as options.

Here's a recent thread on similar subject on Arstechnica:

I love my NView - Should i be tempted to go over to Hydravision?

[Brian R.]

I run Matrox dual-head on three of my computers. I will not try any other brand - so no opinion. I have nothing with which to compare my video

This is like asking a bunch of women at a women's liberation rally who are smarter, men or women??

OK so who voted for Ati?

[Nowhere]

That someone is definetely safier than the one who voted for nvidia

I'm getting damn tired of M.U.R.C. Buncha pricks if you ask me... not even including a Bitboys option here!

ROFLMAO

or maybe ur no human

No, just didn't think it was a very fair poll.

My G400 MAX had much nicer dual head support than my Radeon 8500. The drivers and hardware were much easier to use.

[Kruzin]

It's pretty obvious to anyone who has used multi-monitors with various cards who has the best implimentation.
Even my techno-illiterate boss has noticed the difference between the rigs we have that use a G550, a Radeon, a GeForce, and seperate cards.
The G550 stands alone when compared to our other multi-display rigs.

[Sasq]

As I can't afford a P and I love my dual head, I've stuck with my G550.

I've been tempted with the latest offerings from ATI but I can't live without DH

[KvHagedorn]

Hmm my answer isn't among the choices..

[Nuno]

I tried 9700 hydravision yesterday, an it did fine. It allows for diferent resolutions and refresh rates on the 2 monitors, with independent desktops (1 app on each monitor), the 2nd head is hardware accelerated on both direct 3d and openGL and has video overlay; you can actually watch a movie full screen on the 2nd monitor while working on the primary.

So I´m sure Matrox is still king of the hill about multimonitor support, but ATI´s hydravision (at least on the 9700) seems rather complete to me, at least in the sense it does everything I tried and it does it correctly.

Yeah, but sadly they'd all be wrong, proving the point quite nicely.

Women are smart, to be sure. But it's in a different way from men.

And don't even get me STARTED on Marilyn Idiot Savant, whose IQ test results are either faked or an anomaly - 'cuz she is dumb as a ****ing post.
