Here's the story so far...
I've managed to setup a third monitor on my workstation. Now running a dual-head on a GeForce 9800GT with 2x 20" widescreen and a single-head on a GeForce 7600GS with a 17" widescreen, it's getting close to my final setup (which includes 4 20" widescreens as a 2x2 vidwall)

I'm not entirely sure the crashing of CoH is in anyway related to installing the second gfx-card, but there's a good chance it does.

(photo :: for those who think 3 or more monitors would be overkill...try editing websites and graphics with it, it's so much easier )

So I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced problems with CoH when using a secondary PCI-E gfx-card.

I think it's more to do with the way Nvidia handles dual/multi screen setups.

Have a look under your advanced options for Multi-Display/Mixed GPU Acceleration under Manage 3D Settings and set it to Single Display Performance Mode.

That's what worked for me.

Nope, that's a known bug. I get it and I don't have multiple screens.
