So, to sum up. On a PCIE desktop mobo if one wants two DVI outputs one
can use :
1. a two-DVI PCIE GForce 7600 with closed drivers
2. a two-DVI PCIE GForce 7600 with FOSS drivers
WON'T WORK
3. a two-DVI PCIE ATI card with closed drivers
NOT CONFIRMED and I'm not interested
4. a two-DVI PCIE ATI card with FOSS drivers
will work on FireXX cards however they are very expensive
WON'T WORK on anything > X850 no FOSS drivers
WON'T WORK on anything <= X850 no support for external TMDSes
5. a SLI mobo and two PCIE cards ??? (I don't have a SLI mobo)
6. a PCIE card + a PCI card ?????
can anyone confirm ?
will eat another PCI slot and the PSU will suffer
what chipset/drivers can be mixed ?
is DVI supported by FOSS drivers on ATI 92?0 PCI cards ?
Can someone confirm/complete this analysis ?
(all this assuming one runs latest xorg, I'm not even taking this
parameter into account)
