Re: [PEDA] Warning about the ASUS AGP-V7100/2V1D video card.
Brian, I run (on my work machine, Dell Dimension 4100) an NVidia GeForce 32MB DDR AGP board as the primary, and a 3dfx Voodoo3 16MB secondary controller, with Win2k SP2. Not the most cutting edge adapters, but I've had no problems of any sort with any package, including P99SE SP6. It's a real nice setup.

I just set up a dual head display system with this ASUS dual head video card. A GeForce2 MX card with dual head output. It's a lemon. What ever you do, avoid this card all together.

Re: [PEDA] Warning about the ASUS AGP-V7100/2V1D video card.
Don't discount the notion that your card may be defective. Have you tried a replacement? I could see you bagging on it if two in a row where like that.

Re: [PEDA] Warning about the ASUS AGP-V7100/2V1D video card.
I only use BNC cables. Both monitors are Mitsubishi 4040u. Replacing the video card with my Matrox G400 creates a perfect image, exactly matched, on both screens. No blur at all.

Re: [PEDA] Warning about the ASUS AGP-V7100/2V1D video card.
Are you sure you are using the right type of coax in your BNC cables? Could be signal reflection from impedance mismatching. I seem to remember that many coax/BNC cables are 50 ohm. But most video signals are based on 75 ohm termination. You need special 75 ohm BNC cables if you have 75 ohm video equipment.

Re: [PEDA] Warning about the ASUS AGP-V7100/2V1D video card.
It's the video card. The only way to get 2 good images with the V7100/2V1D is to have 1 digital LCD screen connected 1 analog screen connected on the main analog output.

No blur at all. Hmm, very odd. I have some BNC monitors, too. I have seen a 'blurry' image when the termination switches on the monitor were in the wrong (off) position. That shouldn't happen if you are using the same monitor to compare, unless you somehow turned the terninators off during the changeover. I have also had horrible results with what was supposed to be a high-grade monitor extension cable I used with a monitor switch. I first suspected the switch, but it turned out the cables were not 'high grade', but just a bunch of plain wires bundled in a foil shield! I made up some of my own cables from RG-178 and 15-pin sub-mini connectors, and the result was fine.

Re: [PEDA] Warning about the ASUS AGP-V7100/2V1D video card.
Over the past two days I too have come to the conclusion that this card is a pig (nVIDIA GeForce2 MX400). It's got 32M more video memory than my old AGP video card, but the performance when playing games like Quake II or Unreal is just woeful, (I know it's not intended for gaming but either was my old card). It's going back.
