I've recently picked up a couple Nvidia NVS 280 video cards. I'm not seeing
my second monitor when I run the cards with the DVI splitter cable and DVI
into both monitors. The second monitor never detects any signal, even at
boot up. Interestingly, if I put a DVI to VGA adapter on the second DVI
out connector and run the signal into the monitor as analog I CAN see the
second monitor.
Everything else works. Dual mode in analog (VGA) has no problems. I've
checked the monitors, the cables, etc., all the parts work. I loaded the
latest drivers from Nvidia, no change. I have two of the DVI splitter cables
and they both give the same result. I have two of the NVS 280 cards and
they both work the same too.
I've found one post via Google where someone was discussing this problem
and found the special DVI splitter cable was the issue. I have Molex splitters,
both VGA and DVI. He had a PNY version of the card and found that he needed
a PNY splitter. My cards just say Nvidia, though I know that they're sold
through PNY, HP, Compact, and others.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Rich
