    6600GT can't get it to overlay!

    I have a Geforce 6600GT connected to a 17" Samsung TFT and a 26" Sharp Aquos TV. Which I bought on recommendation from this forum!

    I have the Sharp running at 1368x768 1:1 pixel mapping.

    Everything is setup fine and everything seems to be working.

    However when I start Nebulas Digitv I can only get it to show a TV picture on the 17" monitor and not on my TV.

    I can get the frame and all the boxes and text and settings to appear on the TV but just not a picture at all.

    However when I move the window back to my monitor a picture appears.

    It is very strange .. any ideas?

    I am running dualview it seems that overlay is not working? I can play WMP files fine on the LCD TV.

    Overlay doesn't usually work on a secondary monitor, DVI or not. Usually only works on the primary monitor. Does your application support the VMR render surface in DX9? that may work on both...

      Hummm ... does that mean secondary monitor on a single card?

      As I have a PCI nVidia card in the machine as well powering another 17" TFT monitor - this is not a primary monitor .. but it can still display the overlay!

      I also remember changing it so my LCD TV was the primary output and i managed to show the overlay on it, but then the secondary monitor was still able to show the video as well??

      However when I tried to do it again I could not get it to work.

      I will try again later tonight though.

        Ok when I have my LCD TV set to primary it works fine. I can see the overlay on my TV.

        However I can still move it to my secondary monitors and I can see the overlay?????

        So that means it does work on a secondary monitor.

        But when I make my LCD Tv the secondary monitor it will not show the video!

        Do you think this is due to a limitation on the card? Perhaps it does not support such a hig resolution?

          Which 6600GT card are you using. If I 'member correctly, I think XFX makes a dual DVI card. If this is important, it could be a work around for you.

          I am actually looking at upgrading my video card, and I have been looking heavily at the 6600 GT AGP cards. I'm thinking $200-$250 range is the limit that I want to spend on a video card, and this seems to be the best bang for the buck performer in that range. I'm currently running an ATI 9000, so this would be a major upgrade.

              You might also try asking this question (if you haven't already) over on AVS in the HTPC section.
