Hello.
I did a bit of searching, and couldnt find much. I am running a 2 monitor setup in dual view mode. I just bought a 28" view sonic for movies and games ect. My other monitor is just a dell 17".
So my delema is that i'd like to watch TV while playing my mmo's on the large screen. My digital cable box plugs right into the big monitor. So i was trying to use my capture card to view tv on the little monitor while i game.
The problem, atleast i think, is that my machine cant do both. I was kinda hoping you guys could provide some insight on a streamlined gbpvr. I've messed with the setting a bunch, but dont seem to be getting anywhere. So I can load up windows media player and watch movies and all that just fine. But if i load up live TV on gbpvr my FPS takes a huge dump.
I'm running an intel 3.2 gig /w HT. 2 gigs of ddr2 400. And an nvidia geforce 8800 ddr2 320meg card.
So i'm guessing my machine just cant do both, but I was hoping wtih a little tweaking it could be possible.
Thanks in advance for any help.
