Question about dual video cards...

**Xero** · 07-12-2010, 05:50 PM

So here's my idea. I currently have dual monitors set up. However, I want to get another card (as cheap as possible, really) to output to my television (making a triple monitor set up, essentially).

I'm just wondering if the separate card that goes out to the television would be able to render from the main graphics card and basically only use it as another output, or if it would use its own power (and only its own power) to render whats on that screen?
