Graphics Card Boot Up Question

[pigworthy]

I just installed a new MSI GTX 275. I run a dual monitor setup, and with my previous graphics cards when I booted up the system both monitors would show the boot up process.

With this new Graphics card only one monitor shows the boot up until the OS starts up, then the other monitor comes on at that time. Otherwise it has no signal. Is this common with the new GPU's? Or is something wrong with my new card.

Thanks all!

Nothing is wrong, it totally depends on how the card was made to initialize it's output signals. Some cards only display on the 0 output until it has booted up to a graphics driver and then the other output kicks in. Other cards will show on both outputs and then take on the settings you have setup when the drivers kick in.

Thank you man! Thats what I was thinking but it's the first one I've run into that did that.
