Looking for a PCI video card that can support two D-Sub VGA at 800x480
resolution and AT THE SAME TIME, support a TV output.
Tried Nvidia Geforce FX 5500 and ATI Radeon 7000. Neither supports
three output simultantanously. Nvidia does custom timing allowing me
to run at 800x480.
Any suggestions? I am putting together a carputer output to a LCD
screen to two headrest monitor running VGA resolution at 800x480
native resolution.

No commonly available video card will meet those requirements, because it
will be the equivalent of running three displays at the same time.

However, if you don't mind the two D-sub VGA outputs always showing the same
content, just use a Y-cable to split the VGA output to the two monitors
(like this one: <http://www.national-tech.com/specs/10h1-27708.htm> ), then
hook up the TV out. Most video cards (including the FX5500 you tried) can do
this.

I've been looking for one that will do this too.

As far as I can see, the Nvidia Quadro FX1700 has two DVI and a HD output
that can operate as a preview output.

I need one that will do two DVI-D Monitors side by side for my Extended
desktop and at the same time output HD 1080 component to a Projector.

Does ATI not do a card that will do this? otherwise it's buying a card for
the monitors, and another card for the HD.

Nope.

This is usually the preferred method, if only because two consumer-grade
cards cost less than a Quadro FX1700.

For most applications you will want to connect one monitor + the projector
to one card, and the other monitor to the other card. Remember that image
cloning cannot work across different cards.

I'll second this idea, although I'd suggest that a proper splitter box
will give you far better results, and allow you to run three displays
off a single head (as long as they all just need to display the same
thing); for example: http://www.hometech.com/video/hd15split.html,
http://www.cyberselect.co.uk/range/443.

Make sure you use quality shielded VGA cables as well, to avoid ghosting
and color problems.
