Multiple Video Cards in one desktop PC

by mozster . Updated 16 years, 4 months ago

I have an HP Desktop with a NVIDIA dual head DVI video card which I use to connect and extend my desktop to 2 monitors under Windows Vista.
Works great.

However I now want to be able to connect this to my new LCD TV as well preferably using HDMI.

If I buy an extra video card with a HDMI output on it can I switch between them so I can either use my 2 monitors as normal or switch to my HD TV and use that as the display.

I think my HD TV has a DVI input as well but I’m aware if I connect using this then there will be no sound going from my PC to the TV where as over an HDMI cable there will be.

I’m aware you can now buy video cards with dual head DVI on them as well as HDMI but ideally I don’t want to throw out my current NVIDIA card if I don’t need to.

Thanks
