To be honest I tried using a small LCD tv with a dvi to hdmi cable. But I now have another LCD monitor which is standard dvi. I'll have a look on on Tony's and have a little play. But Its interesting your older 8800gt worked so easily. Anyway thanks for the reply, I'll keep you posted on my progress. Jt, thanks mine is a new build using Tony’s aswell so I’ll have a look.

Doing a google search on your card model, hackintosh and dual monitor came back with some interesting results. A lot of the hits were really old - so I wouldn't hold much stock in them. However, there were a few from this year that seem to have some positive results. I've recently switched to a vanilla build using <a href="http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/" title="Tony Mac x86 Blog" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Tony's Mac</a> stuff - great stuff and you may want to take a look over there. There is a <a href="http://tonymacx86.blogspot.com/2010/01/advanced-dsdt-fixes-nvidia-graphics.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">good article on nVidia</a> on the blog - it's really technical, but the comments are worth a read to get a hint on what to research next. -JT Ollie – The really old card I have has two DVI ports and it works like a champ.

I only have the one card and want to use two 19inch monitors for dual display. I've read that hackintosh doesn't like trying to use dual dvi from the same card. Something about sharing bandwidth? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Regards Ollie Hi, do you have any tips I’m trying to do the same with a nvidia 9800gtx.
