Can i use a single-link DVI cable with my dual-link DVD-I video card?

For now i am only using an analog cable on my PC. Its hard to find a dual-link DVI-D cable here, i have come to many computer shops and they only have the single-link DVI cable. Though its kinda cheap, i didn't buy it coz i dont know if it will work on my dual-link DVI-I video card (Nvidia) to my dual-link DVD-D LED monitor.|||WholeSwitch soft client (PC to Phone Dialer) enables users to make and receive quality VoIP calls from any computer to any phone internationally at ultra low rates.

Dual vga out video card?

ok i have a imb 8215MUB (link at bottom), and i need to get dual display with extended monitor on the 2nd. i have figured out that i am going to have to install a video card, but i really don't know much about them. i have been looking at cards all day and i am still very confused.



1) i am finding vid cards that say dual vga but when i look at the picture i only see one vga port. is there something I'm missing here?



2) i'm seeing in a lot of cases the card will require 250w. my power supply only out puts 225w. but i have read in some places that people are using 225w to supply a 250w card. all i can say is "what?"



3) i think i have a free pci AND a free pci-e slot. is the only difference between these performance and speed?



if any of these questions can be answered you will be my best friend and i will send you a cookie in the mail ( +Shipping and handling ) but if you can make a valid suggestion for a card i will bow down and call you my guru along with a $50,000,000 check in the mail ( check will bounce ) i don't need a bad a$* card. I'm not playing games or anything. the most strenuous thing i will be doing on it is spread sheets ( and of coarse the hog of a windows desktop )

thanks in advance,

"2) i'm seeing in a lot of cases the card will require 250w. my power supply only out puts 225w. but i have read in some places that people are using 225w to supply a 250w card. all i can say is "what?"" - Yep, and they wonder why they have poor video performance. Duh?



"3) i think i have a free pci AND a free pci-e slot. is the only difference between these performance and speed?" - Yes, just like the performance and speed of a wheelbarrow and a Porshe.



Now, on to your "problem". To add to the above problems, you also have a Small Form Factor (SFF) computer. This will require a half-height or low - profile card to fit in the case.

So you need a dual port, low-profile, PCI video card that will run in a computer that only has a 225w power supply! These are very scarce and expensive. I found one at Tiger Direct: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/… Sparkle RP95GT1024D2LHP GeForce 9500 GT Video Card (Refurbished)

Which video card should I buy for my situation?

I've got a Pentium 4 3.0 Ghz chip and I want to put together a dual display setup. I've already got onboard video and I'm wondering which card to get to run the other monitor (assuming one of my monitors CAN be onboard video with a dual setup?). I have PCI slots open as well as AGP. I'm looking to spend between $50-$100, and I want to purchase it from Newegg. I'll be using it for Photoshop, Dreamweaver, and other various desktop publishing tools. The card will be hooked up to either a 17" LCD or a 19" CRT.|||It's possible to do a dual-display setup with your computer but there are some things you should know.



* AGP cards are exclusive so it definitely won't share with your on-board video.

* Some systems are designed to disable on-board video when another video card is inserted (PCI or AGP). It's hard to tell if your system will do that.



No problem though, you just need to buy a video card with two video outputs. I'm familiar with nvidia cards and I know for certain that dual-display is supported in the software so any nvidia card would work as long as two VGA outputs are present on the card. If you plan to connect to one CRT and one LCD with DVI connector, you can use this card then (see picture):

If you are doing two CRTs, however, you'll need something like this where they include a DVI-to-VGA adaptor:

You can also look for dual-VGA video cards like this one but I'm not familiar with ATI products and how easy it is to set it up:

Did i need a video card for adding a dual monitor?

Do i need it? What worth it|||check if your current video card has 2 display outs. then u already have the ability, if not the other option unless u got an SLI board is PCI.

Dual Monitor is satisfying to have, as you can say play a game on one screen while monitoring your msn messenger, chat rooms, perhaps even yahoo answers page.. also u can watch dvd videos etc... if you work like a graphics designer you'll find its always good to have alot of spaces.. and also if u like to have alot of programs open its a plus as well.|||if your video card cannot handle dual video like the best answer said. there is also an option for a cheap VGA splitter. it will give you 2 video out ports for dual monitors. this unfortunately will give you two copies of the same screen, but there are uses for this.

|||Dual Monitors are excellent at increasing productivity on a "Work station" PC. Also there are a lot of things to be said for Dual monitors on both multi-media or gaming PC's. I have a network set-up that allows me to view one or more (up to 4 actually, in my case) desktops across my Dual monitor Set-up which really increases your multi-tasking capabilities( for example: I can download files onto PC 1 while simultaneously looking for info one the web, PC 2 and at the same time have a word processor open PC 3 and my estimating software PC 4, running all at the same time! This makes my whole set-up faster because none of my cpu's are maxed out while multi-tasking.)

What laptop should I buy for dual-monitor & photoshop/lightroom?

I'm looking to buy a laptop, but I'm concerned about the ability of it to handle such software as photoshop and lightroom - additionally dual-monitor use - at the same time in pretty good screen resolution size. I'm wanting to be able to edit photos on the spot and give to client moments after taking the pictures. What are the minimum hardware requirements I should look for that will be able to handle this demand? Will I need a non-mobo-based video card to handle dual monitors and higher screen res?|||I think u should get an HP cuz my laptop hasnt had any problems

My video card has 1 DVI and 1 VGA ports and I need to setup a dual monitor for my 2 LCDs, with DVI ports only.

Is that possible? Can I use the 1 DVI port on my card to have 2 monitors (extended display not cloned). How?|||no cause there are no dvi-splitters out there, but u can use a dvi to vga cable for one of the monitors|||Either get a different card.( dual DVI) ..or get a VGA monitor. if you go the monitor route..you may not like the how the monitor extends into the second screen.|||Cucusoft MPEG/AVI to DVD/VCD/SVCD Converter Pro (Converter + Embedded Burner) is easy to use and powerful for experts as well.
