PNY Quadro FX 1500 with BOB help at DVinfo.net

If anyone has experience with this card I could use some help with the correct setup. I have it setup to a LCD thru a DVI cable for the computer. This works fine. I'm trying to send the second output to a TV monitor thru the composite cable. I'm pretty sure this is a card setup issue with the overlay because I'm not having any video luck with Media Player or Win DVD as well as Premiere Pro. My only option for dual display with a TV is "Clone". I have the lastest drivers installed.

Tim,

Did you ever come to a solution for the problem?

Sort of. One of the problems was that I had downloaded the lastest drivers before installing. When I uninstalled those and reinstalled the ones that came with CD, even though they were listed as the same version, the CD loaded a slightly different version of the software. I was able to find the dual screen option. The Nvidia interface definitely isn't user friendly. But now somehow I have lost the letterboxing for output on my 4x3 monitor. I didn't want to try to fix that in fear of losing the output again. Also, an upgrade to a HD monitor of some kind is next so I'm not as bothered by it. Another interesting thing was that the delay to the second monitor is shorter when outputing through the RCAs to a TV vs the DVI to an LCD.
