bhays Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 The video card has expired in my show computer. It's a GeForce 6800GT. I need to replace it and was hoping to use a less expensive card since that computer is only used for the show, no sequencing, etc.What PCI or AGP video cards have people successfully used for full screen video output on the second monitor with LOR?Thank you so much for your assistance.

Paul Roberson Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 I am not fully using LOR yet, but as far as video cards go.....AL, LOR or what ever. I have only heard of Nvidia Geforce cards later than 5500 working correctly with duel view full video on the second monitor.There are several on ebay now for $50 or less including shipping. I have the 6200, and it works great with LOR or AD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ott Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 I'm using GeForce FX 5200 card from PNY to run both of my monitors. It's about $80.00 at Best Buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Roberson Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Is the 5200 capabile or 'duelview'? Duelview does not operate like clone.Can you have desktop shown on one monitor with video only in full view, or desktop background in no video is playing on the 2nd monitor/tv/projector?

Steve Ott Posted August 23, 2008 Share Posted August 23, 2008 You can set it up as clone or dualview. I have mine set as dualview, so I can have the sequence editor running on one screen, with the visualizer running on the other at the same time.This makes it easier (for me) to see what is going on with my sequences.

I tried to find it again but was not seccessful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda wish someone would just tell me what to buy because I just don't get this kind of stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not found anyone saying that they have found a card that works, other than a nVidia geforce 5500 or later. I believe it was Joseph Ayo that I got that number from.I actually have the nVidia geforce 6200, it works very well for video with AL or LOR. There was a 6200 that just sold on ebay for $24.50 including shipping.GeForce Nvidia 6200A 256MB AGP 6 Series AXLEcopied the above from ebay it is the exact same card that I have.
