Enable motherboard port for three monitor setup Leonovo H430

Hello
I have a Lenovo H430 running windows 7 home prem 64-bit w/ 8 GB RAM and an Nvidia GeForce GT 620 2 GB video card. I have two monitors hooked up to the GeForce and a third hooked up to the motherboard port.
I have gone into the BIOS and I have three choices - Auto, PCIe and Integrated. I have tried all three and I can't get my third monitor fired up. I bought this computer and the video card only about six months ago. I'd hate to have to go out and spent money on another card with three ports. Please advise.

hi dmille,
Welcome to Lenovo Forums!
The GeForce GT 620 2 GB video card that is connected to your mainboard will automatically Disable the onboard Graphics.
If your Ge Force only have 2 ports for display then the only option you can have with making it work is to get a splitter like this, This will only clone what's on the other VGA display. 
But if your really intend to have Three Display with extended Settings, You are really need a Three Port Graphics Card.
Hope this helps,

  • Three monitor setup

    I have an Envy 700 339 desktop running windows 8 I want to set up three monitors ...PC existing card has 1-dvi, 1-hdmi...monitors are samsung 27" hdmi and have dvi/hdmi in/out
    Do I need another card for optimum setup or am I missing something?
    I purchased an hdmi splitter which works great for duplication but not for extended desktop.... I am not a gamer so I am not looking for fully extended, but simply two more monitors for moving windows around and other applications etc... My apologies if this is a rudimentary question I'm no techie for sure

  • Three monitor setup, Only use one of them?

    Hi!
    Before i buy a third monitor I want to make sure everything work as expected. I need to be able to switch between the monitors so sometimes I want all of them to be active, sometimes only two or one of them. How do i switch between those modes?
    I have two now and its easy in Windows + P where i can choose "PC Screen only" and "Second Screen Only" or extend. How does it looks with three monitors? What i want to switch between First & Second and Second & Third ?
    Thanks for the help!

  • Passive graphics card for 2-monitor setup

    I am looking for a graphics card for use with 2 monitors in a dual monitor configuration that has:
    Passive cooling
    1 x DVI port
    1 x DisplayPort
    I'm aware that CS6 can  make use of some of the more advanced graphics card features, such as Open CL, but I don't understand the technicalities of this, nor what this implies when choosing a card.  I will not be doing any video-editing, video playback or gaming. 
    My questions are:
    Would a card such as the Sapphire Radeon HD 6670 Ultimate provide full support for CS6, without being overkill? (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1088&pid=1240&psn=&lid= 1&leg=0)  -  I thought that the "low active power consumption and Dynamic Power Management" features seem a good idea, since the card will never be used very intensively.
    Or would the much cheaper Zotac Synergy Edition GeForce GT 210 be just as good for my needs. (http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1088&pid=1240&psn=&lid= 1&leg=0)
    Or are there other types of cards that would be more appropriate?
    And finally, can you connect a single-link DVI device to a dual-link DVI port?  (If so, I would like the DVI port to be dual-link, for future compatibility.  If not, it will need to  be single-link, for my current hardware.)

    For the benefit of anyone searching on this topic in the future, a posting of this question on Silent PC Review (http://www.silentpcreview.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=65413) yielded some extremely helpful responses.

  • Do I use the thunderbolt port or the hdmi port for my monitor?

    I'm getting a 1080p hd monitor. i have a macbook pro with retina. Should i plug the monitor in using a hdmi to hdmi or should i use a thunderbolt to hdmi?

    Search your computer for a folder called user.lib, it should be in the same directory as the Labview.exe. Usually the path is like the one below, but it depends on your installation options.
    C:\program Files\National Instruments\Labview 6.1\user.lib
    Open all the files you modified, and change the inputs back to the way they were before you changed them.
    On the front panel of each VI, right click on each input control you changed, and select Data Operations, then click "Make current value Default". Save all the VI's.
    Next, change the controls back to values that work for your DIO work, click the "Make current Value Default" on each control, then resave the VI in your User.lib location WITH A DIFFERENT FILENAME. Use the "Save As" command un
    der the File menu. These are the files you want to save in your User.Lib folder.
    Now when you want to call those files for your special DIO work, you use your custom files which are saved in the user.lib folder, not the files in the DIO menu.

  • How to enable widescreen resolution for external monitor on Equium A60?

    Hi
    I have got a Equium A60 with a ATI Radion Mobility 7000 grahpics chip in it. A short while ago the LCD died and decided to use a external monitor instead of replacing it. However, the external monitor is a 22" widescreen monitor which the computer does not provide a suitable display resolution for. Is there any way of updating the graphics card driver to provide widescreen formats. I have looked on the toshiba updates but there is nothing any newer on there and ATI are unwilling to offere support on a laptop.
    Any ideas ?

    Hi
    You cannot choose your favorite resolution because the graphic driver does not support it.
    Possibly the 3rd party driver would support your favorite display resolution but to be honest I would not use such drivers because it could cause some serious notebook troubles.
    The point is that such 3rd party drivers are not tested and not certified by Toshiba.
    Therefore the usage is only at your own risk.
    bye

  • Three Monitor Setup using FCP 7

    I am working on a Mac Pro with, Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2x2.26GHzQuadCore IntelXeon 18GB. I would like to set up a HDTV for use as a "Clieent Monitor" while editin projects on FCP Studio.  I did some research on the Black Magic Intensity Pro Card.  Would this Work with my current set up?

    When I faced this problem I wanted both a large scale playback monitor and an HD color grading monitor, so I went to a Matrox MXO2 Mini. Although the Matrox unit costs substantially more than the Intensity Pro, it allowed me to calibrate the my HDTV to Rec 709 and avoid the cost of of a broadcast monitor.
    My 37" calibrated presentation/grading monitor set me back just under $1K.

  • One Thunderbolt port for two HDMI devices?

    Hello

    Use the HDMI port for one monitor and a mini displayport to HDMI adopter on the other. That adopter plugs into the Thunderbolt port.

  • Quicktime screen record on multiple monitor setup error

    Hello, I am trying to record a webinar using Quicktime 10.2 on my three monitor setup (usb video cards). The program loads fine and I can drag the record area on the main monitor that I want to record and then I get an error saying "The operation cannot be completed". I'd appreciate any assitance, I've also had a similar problem trying to record with iShowU HD. I find it difficult that in 2014 I cannot not record on a 3 screen set up.

  • Is a dual monitor setup with 2graphic cards possible?

    HI.
    What i want to do is run Archlinux on my Desktop but i dont want to miss my second monitor.
    I could use both monitor on my nvidia graphiccard but i want to use the energy saving features too (wich dont work with 2monitor on one card) therefore my windows setup is big monitor on nvidia and the smaller one on the intel onboard card.
    They both get recognized by lspci but only the onboard cards isy being used (the onboard card is the first card on windows too).
    So is it possible to get it to work? Id really want to use ARchlinux on my Desktop too but i dont want to use it with one screen or without energy saving?
    Working compositing is a must, i want to use gnome3 wich is the only reason to swich to linux for the Desktop (arch is running on the laptop for ages^^) but i dont need to, Win7 is working flawlessly fine and i didnt have to pay for it (msdnaa).
    Thanks in advance!

    hy do you need to clock down your card?
    Most gpu have a function that clocks down the card@idle and or desktop.
    In my case thats down from 850mhz(560ti)to 200mhz while using windows and 50mhz if the gpu load is low.
    Thats about 20watts less then with full clock.
    The problem is, that the gpu wont clock down with 2monitors on it, it stays at 850mhz.
    Theres some driver tweaks for amd cards wich "fix" thatfix this (i believe its intentionl, 2monitors equals more load but its no problem with new cards...
    Thats one reason i use my onboard gpu for the second monitor, it works well with windows and also means that swiching off fullscreen (games) to the desktop works a lot better, the second monitor can play a movie while playing wich doesnt work with one gpu and fullscreen.
    I really dont need that with Linux since i use it for work and multimedia only but the energy saving feature is nice if the pc is on 8hours and more wich is often the case.
    Can you tell which one do you run? I'm going to buy one for dual-monitor setup, and I'm looking for something that will work for shure.
    As said dual monitor on one gpu works, amd can do 3monitors while nvidia can do 2 at once, that means if u intend to use 3monitors some day with ur card u have to buy an amd card.
    i took the nvidia because is can use it to render videos with cuda support (its not working with all tools yet but its getting better and if it works its a lot faster then my cpu rendering).
    PS: Thats one hread about the power saviing with 2monitors:http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=197557
    since my monitors dont share the same resolution it seems that theres no way to make it work .

  • Best dual monitor setup (or should I say best value)

    Hello All,
    As I've shared before, I run a non-profit, but have a background in film. I purchased all of the necessary equipment to shoot and edit our own mini documentaries on our work. I've been doing it for about 6 months now. The results are extremely powerful, and the work is tremendously fulfilling.
    So, with each successful piece that I produce, I reward myself with a piece of equipment that will make future productions more enjoyable. Examples have been a Pelican Case, mini hard drive, microphone, etc.
    I'm now interested in setting up with two monitors. Right now I'm using a MacBook Pro, and a 19" monitor. Although it works, it's kind of funky. I'd like to get two monitors and am seeking a recommendation. I suppose I should also purchase a full-size keyboard at this point as well.
    Any recommendations for the monitor setup?
    Thanks.
    DG

    Please forgive the lack of accurate computer language:
    I use my MacBook Pro and a monitor connected via the white cable. I then have a PC connected the the same monitor, using the blue cable from the PC. The monitor I'm using has a button called "Exit". When I press this, I can either have two monitors as part of the Mac setup with FCP, or a single monitor with the PC. The MacBook and the monitor have different resolutions, but the way I have it setup for dual monitor work, it's not a problem. The real problem comes in when moving the mouse from MacBook to monitor. As they aren't aligned, it's kind of a pain.
