I never actually tried this, but I believe this isn't possible on SLI boards...
You can just have one, or have a SLI setup.
There are a few intel chipset mainboards that aren't SLI or Crossfire which do support this. However, getting the drivers to install correctly is a bit difficult. (the primairy card is installed, and the secundairy can't use the same drivers, and therefore will not work.)
Interestingly, I am able to do this just fine on the P7N Diamond which I believe is an SLI board, Tri-SLI in fact. However the catch is that I'm using ATI video cards: (1) 3870X2 and (1) X1950PRO. Each card is driving different monitors. Obviously, they are not configured for SLI. I had a similar setup on prev mobo (975XPUE) and didn't have issues then either (dual cards in non-Crossfire mode). Unfortunately, this doesn't help much in this situation :(

Here is a must...... all monitors must have same resolution. You cannot have 800x600 on 1 and 1600x1050 and 1280x1024 etc........
Regarding the resolutions, my dual video card setup has two monitors at different resolutions. ATI 3870X2 is driving 22" widescreen at 1600x1050 and ATI X1950PRO is driving 19" standard at 1280x1024. Used to also have a 3rd lcd (on X1950PRO) running at 1024x768 but had to give it to in-law. So, I can confirm it's possible to run at multiple monitors at heterogeneous resolutions. However, as mentioned above, my experience is only with ATI cards.
I haven't personally, nor can I recall hearing of anyone else, been able to run multiple Nvidia video cards in Non-Linked mode (SLI/Crossfire).

SLI - Can I use two different video card versions for SLI?

Hello,
Can I use two different generations of MSI video cards that implement the same GPU for SLI?
The two video cards are:
MSI N260GTX-T2D896-OCv2 GeForce GTX 260 896MB <-- What I currently have
MSI N260GTX-T2D896-OCv3 GeForce GTX 260 896MB
MSI N260GTX-T2D896-OCv4 GeForce GTX 260 896MB
The main difference between these three seems to be that the OCv3 has two fans and a different heatsink than the OCv2. The OCv4 has one fan like the OCv2 and but it is located in a different location and some weird spikey heatsink thing going on. I already have the OCv2 but I am looking to get another card for SLI and newegg doesn't sell the OCv2 anymore. The important thing is that I am looking for is stability and it seems that the most ideal setup would be to get identical cards.
By the way, why are there so many versions (updates?) to this card? Have there been issues related to the card that necessitate a revision?
Thanks

Different coolers(HS and fans) and possibly different makers of vRAM. But, you should be able to run SLI without issues regardless of the versions.

How to use two different network cards on RT?

Hi everyone... I'm currently working on a project where I have to deal with the issue mentioned in the thread's topic: I have a PC with RT LabVIEW that has to be able to establish network connections using two different network cards. One will be used to connect via TCP/IP with a host computer that will show the data transmitted through shared variables; the other will communicate with another PC through Modbus protocol. The key is that each communication is done through a separate network card.
So far I haven't been able to figure out how to configure both things to happen. Does anyone know how to do this? Any tips will help.
For the RT communication I'm using a standard RT project, with the RT PC being given one of the IPs, and for the Modbus part, I created an I/O server with a master and a slave. Separately everything works fine, but when I get them together it simply won't work.
Thanks for your help!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sorry it took me so long to answer, I've been busy lately....I've found a solution to the problem I mentioned, and just in case anyone has similar problems in the future, I'll shortly describe what happened.
As Caseyw suggested, it was necessary to enable both network cards through the Measurement and Automation Explorer. The cause of the connections malfunction was actually that I wasn't using the "right" protocol for the Modbus communication, which ran on the secondary adapter. The solution was to use the URL protocol with the correct path on the field, addressing the right IP address. To avoid making this post a mixture of topics, I won't elaborate futher, but I got the gist of it, so if anyone is having similar problems whether it is working with several network cards or with Modbus communication protocols, feel free to contact me, I'll be glad to help.
Thanks

Set up itunes account with two different credit cards

Is it possible to set up an existing iTunes Store Account with two different credit cards?
I am currently registered with a personal card but wish to make one purchase for work (Lion OS) using a company credit card.
many other sites let you choose what card to pay from, multiple addresses, etc. but I don't see any options from apple site.
for this purchase I am considering:
1. going into the "edit payment information".
2. editing all the info related to the company card and address.
3. completing the purchase and download
4. going back to the payment info and putting back my original personal informaton.
there must be an easier way -- or is this the only apple offering.
any advice appeciated. TIA.

but this discussion is clearly for people that have multiple accounts because they have multiple credit cards.
This is incorrect.
It is very clearly for people with a single iTunes account and they want to use multiple credit cards for purchases on that single iTunes account.
If I had one iTunes account with multiple credit cards registered (which again, is what this discussion is in reference to),
Huh? You just wrote it was NOT that.
I bought Lion through my company, which means I logged into the App Store with my company's credentials, of which I have my company credit card registered.
You mean your company paid for it. You are simply the one who did the purchasing using company funds.
I now have a new iMac of which I want to install Lion. Apple allows you to install this same install multiple times on your own personal machines. I had to remember which account I bought Lion on so that I logged into the App Store correctly. If I would have logged into my new iMac with my personal account, I would have then bought Lion again, of which I didn't want to do.
But you did not purchase Lion with your personal account. It was purchased on your business account.
If you want Lion on your persona/home computers, you will need to purchase it.
I also wanted to install iPhoto. I bought iPhoto on my personal account. I had to then log out of the app store from my company account and log back in using my personal account to install iPhoto or I would have just bought iPhoto with my company's credit card, of which I would have been in a good amount of trouble.
Imagine if I bought 3 or 4 apps a week and these apps were scattered across my business account and my personal account. Each time I wanted to install these apps on one of my multiple machines in my house, I would have to remember which account I bought the app on. or go to my purchases or which there could possibly be dozens of apps in each account.
I would hope that your company requires you to track purchases you have made with their money.
And I would think that you would want to keep track of all business purchases so you can get reimbursed (for the purchases you made on their behalf). If/when you leave the company, they can get company owned software that you purchased with their funds.

I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in order of the times they were taken, is there a trick?

I would like to import two different cf cards from two different cameras into the same project/folder and have them be in the order of the times they were taken, any ideas on how to do this?

Just import them normally and sort the project by date. They will fall into place. If you tried this and it isn;t happening then make sure the data and times on the two cameras are identical and make sure you are sorting by date and time and nothing else.

Two different video files in the same clip

Well, I've been looking around and have been wondering if it's possible t have two different video files play at the same time, both being shown at the same time, for example, what I would like to do is; I have two separate video files, one of me playing rhythm on a guitar, the other of me soloing, and would like the to play at once, both being visible at the same time, one on each side of the screen.

if you're using iMovie vers≤6, look at the plug-in makers for some PIP (picture in picture) plug-in...
geethree.com
imovieplugins.com
stupendous-software.com
or, in case you own QTpro, you can use that ..
or, if you like total control, consider purchasing/'upgrading' to FinalCutExpress..

Sync audio with two different video files to create split screen

I want to sync two different video files to a high quality audio file and create a split screen from there in Final Cut Pro X. Help please?

I'm following along at home, Tom, trying to make sense out of your instructions. (Editorially: This kind of operation is among the reasons I thoroughly loathe FCPX.) This would have been easy in FCP7. Perhaps it's actually the same amount of work (you are describing operations in FCPX I have not bothered to try yet—too scared) but it's far more direct the old way: Find sync points for all three files, stack them up in a timeline, nudge till precisely matched, apply effects.
But I'm glad you're here to help us through this stuff!

After trying many times with two different debit cards still does not allows me to buy a game from the app store gives error "YOUR PAYMENT METHOD WAS DECLINE.PLEASE ENTER VALID PAYMENT METHOD INFORMATION" Please help me out

I WANT TO PURCHASE NFS MOST WANTED GAME FROM APP STORE BUT IT DOESN'T ALLOW ME TO PROCEED FURTHER

In most cases, you can't use a Debit card anymore. So, either redeem an iTunes gift card or use a credit card.

I created a slideshow using lightroom3 with music at 1070p, then put it to both a CD and a DVD. I cannot play either back on my iMac. It is jumpy and unusable on playback. Different Video card needed? Any Help?

I created a slideshow using lightroom3 at 1070p with music. After transferring the slideshow to a DVD I could not play it back on my iMac without a lot of skipping. Any ideas? Different Video card??

As I said, I've not used Lightroom (and I tried to find some info on the Adobe website, but they like to make it difficult to find things - the only thing easy to find was the "buy" button LOL).
I get some pretty good quality - and actually reduce my videos from 1080 to 720p because of the enormous file size, rendering time required, and the fact that I simply cannot tell the difference on my 42" HDTV. My workflow is: create a slideshow in Photo to Movie (I've found that superior to anything else I've tried), add that to my iMovie project (in between video clips, etc), add transitions, titles, or whatever. Export at the highest settings (experimented with different settings on a 30 sec clip) to desktop. Fire up iDVD, customize a theme/menu with videos, music, stills and then add my movie(s). Encode there to highest quality, create a Video TS folder (which will include all the files necessary so you can delete the originals if you want) or burn from there. If I do the folder method, I use Roxio Toast to burn it at the slowest speed available.
Using that workflow, my movies rock (if I say so myself ) and have a great quality. And I've never had a coaster.

Can I have two iPads with two different credit cards linked to one iTunes account?

Can I have two iPads with two different credit cards linked to one iTunes account?

It is still not possible to have two credit cards with your iTunes store account. I've just had a discussion with an Apple representative who suggested I give feedback to Apple about this. The more we are, Apple might listen to us in the end.
This is the link
http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
Please feel free to use or modify what I wrote there:
I’m surprised as are many other people who have the same issue (can see this in many forum threads) that Apple don’t give us the possibility to have at least 2 credit cards with one AppleID/account like most other vendors do (even much smaller than Apple). This certainly forces people to buy some stuff elsewhere that they otherwise would have purchased from Apple (for example books) or restrain from buying things they would have bought if they had a choice to use a second Credit Card.
Not having this option puts me in a precarious situation since it would not be OK to buy just anything with the Credit Card that is tied to my business (and in many cases like mine the business is only one person, the VAT No being the same as my social security No).
Sole traders need an option too.

Playing two sound waves across two different sound cards simutaneously?

Hello all.
With the help from old board posts and the example VIs packaged with Labview 2009 SP1, I was able to get part of the way.
The goal is to simutaneously play two .wav files, to two different sound cards. So far:
1) I can play one wav file to either sound card
2) I can generate two sine waves of different tones, and push each out to the two cards seperately simutaneously.
But when I replace those two tones from #2 with .wav files, the wave files play alternately. So wav_1 plays to sound_card_1, THEN wav_2 plays to sound_card_2, not simutaneously.
Is it even possible to play 2 wav files simutaneously out to different cards?
I've included a VI of the attempt in #2 above. Disclaimer: my labview skills are minimal and this vi was very experimental so it's probably terrible form.
Solved!

Tzoom84,
Since there is no way to buffer your sound output on the sound card and use hardware triggering you will be limited to software start timing. You could use semaphores as you said, or simply wire both of the Sound Output writes in parallel inside a single while loop. Since windows is nondeterministic the best you will likely achieve is the two outputs starting within tens of milliseconds of one another. The time between the two starting will be affected by all other processes running on your system and may take much longer.

Mac Pro 1,1 two different riser card.

When I got my Mac 1,1 Pro used, it only came with one riser card. Now I recently bought another riser card from ebay, but it is a different color (the original was light blue and the new one is indigo). Everything does work, but I was just wondering did apple use two different riser cards, because they are the same model and both were built in 2006 by Apple. Also this won't cause any optimization issue, Right? This maybe a small thing but hey, can't be too cautious. Anyway, Thanks For Your Help.

deal with reliable place like DVWarehouse which has 1,1 part number but $70
Apple Memory Riser card for Mac Pro First Generation 922-7695 - NEW - $78
there is another vendor that also carries parts and was about $40

Two ATI video cards in Vista 32 with Boot

Hello,
I just installed a second ATI Radeon 1900 video card in my 2007 Mac Pro. It seems to work fine while in OS X, I can adjust and use three different monitors at once. However, while in Vista 32, only two monitors on one card will work and the video is mirrored. I tried adjusting it in the control panel but it could only see one monitor. I also tried to install the ATI catalyst manager but I cannot seem to find the application, it seems to not install correctly. The two screens worked fine before installing another video card of the same model. Is there anything I can do to get all three screens to work correctly?
Thanks for any help

I have used the Expansion Slot Utility to change several different settings. I tried one where the original card was on x16 and the second card was on a x1 or x2, and another attempt where both cards were on x8. For use with OS X it didn't make a huge difference, they all worked fine. However in Vista, I cannot get the cards to work when both are installed. The card will function fine in x8 or x16 while it's on it's own but when the second one is connected no card works well. I have installed catalyst and new drivers, in Vista. When only one card is installed the ati driver works fine and catalyst can control the monitor. With the second card installed the driver doesn't load. I have also updated the firmware with the boot camp firmware ati update.
Thanks for any help or suggestions, I may go back to VGA splitter for Vista.
