    Hi,

    I have an ATI Radeon 9250, I have two screens hooked up to it but I cant display my games on the secondary screen, is this possible to do or not?

    Cheers in advance.

    Trust me you don't want that. Your videocard wouldnt be able to handle it, and in FPS games your corsshair will be right in the middle making it difficult to aim with the gap in the screens. What games are you trying to play?

    Yeah, even on the offchance you'd be able to, it would be very ugly. However I don't think it's even possible without special software, which only a few games (mostly flight sims I think) support.

    Couterstrike source supports it. But on a 9250 i really wouldn't bother! Plus its not as great as you think.

    Although i can see it being fun for MMORPG's

    It's nice for running 2 copies of world of warcraft together. I can only do it when I get to steal a friends account and it doesn't run that smoothley at all, let alone when you approach Ironforge. I just prey Santa sends me a 4400+ for christmas, then it's smooth sailing all the way.
