How to get 3 monitors to work, 2 monitors 1 hdtv on integrated video card and a PCIe GeForce 7600?

i have a integrated video card that has VGA/D-sub port and a EVGA 256-P2-N615-TX GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 video card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130062) that has VGA/D-sub port, DVI-I port, and a TV-out

i want to hook up 1 monitor to the integrated video card and the other monitor and the hdtv tv to the video card

i do have access to BIOS settings

how do i turn on the integrated video card after i installed the video card because the integrated video card is automatically turn off

i put in the video card and installed it and also i did it vis versa but for some reason it wont let me have all 3 monitors on i even put all 3 monitors into the video card that i got and it still wont let me have all 3 monitors on at the same time working together

how would i put all 3 monitors onto the video card and or 2 on the video card and 1 on the integrated video card?|||I know with AGP you could not have the onboard video and a AGP video card at the same time.



PCIe I am not so sure but I could well believe it is not possible.



Even if you do get them both working there is no guarantee that the driver for the 7600GT is going to play nicely with the driver for the onboard video. This is frowned upon my Microsoft for XP and forbidden under Vista.



For getting three outputs from the single card, that is definately not possible. You have a GPU capable of producing two video streams and three outputs that you can pick two of to display them on. So any combination of the two but not all three together.



Probably your most reliable option is to fork out another $80 for a second video card and then you have up to four outputs and no driver conflicts.
