Just putting this info out there:
My original game settings that ran Standoff quite well with just the ATI card currently do not work with two cards installed. Starting the game gives me a black screen.
I also tried it without the lighting effects enabled.
I don't see this as a problem at the moment because I can always uninstall the nvidia drivers and card when I want to play standoff.
PCI-E ATI RADEON X1650 SE / PCI BFG TECH NVIDIA GEFORCE 6200
The install of the Nvidia card went haywire but seems to have sped up my 3D program rendering while causing a number of problems with windows screen flickering and games crashing or not starting at all.
Upon uninstalling the Nvidia Driver, ATI tries to apply it's driver to the nvidia card upon restarting the OS and tells you it can't continue.
I reinstall the Nvidia drivers (From Disk) and things are back to almost normal.
With one card
ATI (Primary Monitor 1)
With two cards
ATI (Secondary Monitors 2 and 3)
Nvidia (Primary Monitor 1)
So the Nvidia card steals the primary desktop or ATI tries to control the primary desktop through the Nvidia card with or without Nvidia drivers installed. I really don't understand this.
Currently:
I updated the Nvidia Drivers. However, as for the Ati driver, ATI is telling me no updates are available for my legacy card even though the Catalyst Control center is now updated to version 9.8. I may not be stuck with 9.3 but I reinstalled the ATI driver for good measure using the 9.3 driver bundle.
