Posted by mlimbolimbo on the Avid Xpress Pro PC support forum The Nvidia and PNY literature says that you can do this but the PDF manual isn’t all that helpful. With the extraordinary help of a PNY technical support person who will go unnamed to protect the innocent, I was able to get it all working very nicely. I am running 2 of the 540s in an Asus dual 16x pcie P5N32-SLI Deluxe MB. At this time this is a hard to find board and as far as I have been able to tell the only one on the market that will allow 2 cards to run at full speed simultaneously. You don’t have to have 2 cards to do this but you can only run 2 monitors off of one of these cards at any given time. In this configuration I have two 21” VGA monitors and a 13” Sony broadcast monitor. With one card connect the monitor to the DVI connection and the breakout box to the video out port. If you have a second card, connect the second VGA monitor to the VGA port on the card. If you have a third VGA monitor, go ahead and connect it to the DVI port on the second card (but your on your own with the configuration past the first 2 VGAs). read more...
