Hi all, i have a question really, I have a GF8500 GT graphics card, i need to know if its possible to have a monitor plugged in the VGA and have the DVI port act as a TV out for my HD tv. I have a DVi to HDMI lead, but i get no output. I cant even get the card to detect a tv is detected in display settings. Is what I am trying to to possible, or am i missing something? I have the latest drivers form nVidia, the regular TV out (S video) works fine, but HD resolutions would be sweet thhrough the DVI if at all possible....Or is it new card time?

many thanks

    You have to use the dual display wizard in the NV control panel.

    Hi, thanks for the reply, tried that though. Dual display wouldnt even enable until i forced it to as it couldnt detect a secondary display, its like theres nothing even plugged in to it at the moment....
