Multi screens on PC

Anonymous — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 08:53:34 GMT

It seems that on a PC you cannot use more than one screen? We usually have the 3D window running on a second monitor, but this no longer seems to work? Having spoken to Archicad support they have confirmed this is not possible.

As Graphisoft claim this is design software, this seems ridiculous.

I have no problem. I have been running AC on 2 monitors since 8.0 and other than a few anomalies corrected with a new video card it still works fine.

Check your set up. It isn't Archicad that is the problem.

Are you running two monitors now? Are you fully up to date?

It gives me a lot of confidence that Graphisoft support claim that they can't run two monitors either.

I have two configurations both running 2 monitors with SLI video cards. However, before this year I was running on one Geforce GTX220 (gamer card) in each system and didn't have a problem.

When I upgraded to V16 I had an annoying jumping / shifting going on one monitor and ended upgrading the cards. Works super now.

(In order for others to chime in with their experience it is helpful to put your system configuration in your signature.)
