Video card for dual monitors? Will nVidea GeForce GT 220 work?
I'm in the market for a new desktop and I want to set up a dual monitor setup. I will probably be using two 22 or 23 inch monitors, and I want to make sure I can use them to create an extended display, not just a cloned display on two screens. The pc will be running an Intel Core i7-920 with 6 GB tri-channel ram. I do not really do any gaming, but I watch a lot of video/multimedia/etc. Would an nVidia GeForce GT 220 (1024 MB) support this monitor config without any problems?|||yes but u might need a dvi to vga converter
I buying a new computer. dual monitors is a must for me. SLI? crossfire? or dual output video card?
i need 2 monitors for work, but i also enjoy games. i really want to be able to play starcraft II when that comes out, so some hardware aptitude in 3d gaming is preferable (im not interested in having bragging rights on resolution or fps, just enough power to enjoy a multiplayer game).
my question: should i be leaning toward dual graphics boards? if so, is there any significant performance difference between ATI's crossfire and Nvidia's SLI?
finally, as an alternative, is there a dual DVI output video card that is comparable in gaming ability to my old video card: the ATI Radeon X1600XT. i might consider just upgrading my old comp to support dual monitors... ty for all your help!|||Im pretty sure that Crossfire is better then SLI (not by much though), but you can get SLI capable cards for pretty cheap (the 8600gt, great card, is only like $80 or so). Im not really sure about crossfire capable cards. It depends on your motherboard though. You cant have both Crossfire and SLI on the same Motherboard.|||I agree with Johnny. I also use a 8600gt and it works great. Can't compare with ATI, haven't ever used ATI equipment.
8600gt comes with 512MB onbd memory an plugs into a PCI Express Slot|||For dual monitors i would go with the new 9000 series from Nvidia or just get a high end single card will still play games well, but SLI is better for dual monitor. And also make sure when you choose SLI or Crossfire you get the Motherboard that supports 2 PCI-E slots.
But dual graphics can be pricey, if it is going with a high end single card will still do the job.|||The Radeon X1600XT would run dual monitors. You just needed a VGA to DVI adapter like the one they sell at Radio Shack. I couldn't wait, so I shelled out $15 bucks!,(or was it $17.99?) at Radio Shack. It's cheaper online, but like I said, Chickster gotta' have it now! Gimme! Lol! I run a Trinitron 21" CRT monitor, and a Gateway 19" LCD. Coulda' run two LCD screens,(will in future, I'm usin' my money for motherboard/cpu combo's right now) I use a ATI Radeon X600XT graphics card. Will be going to a 8800 series card, probably the 8800GT, or GTS. I install 'em for people, just haven't upgraded mine! I'd recommend a 8800 series card. Just one. You can shell out another $300 bucks later. (well, almost $300.)|||Dual-cards just for two monitors seems a bit silly. A single better card will perform better, be cheaper and use less power than two cards. Pretty much all recent graphics cards have two monitor outputs on them as well as a TV-out.
Without knowing what spec starcraft 2 requires it's hard to suggest a card for it, but either an ATI 3850 or 3870 should be sufficient, choose the one that suits your budget best, you can always add another one later if you want. If money is a concern, you should be able to get away with a slightly lower model, but the savings aren't that big.

Dual monitor display...video card dilemma!?
I am trying to set up my HP Compaq DC5000 (Windows 7 32bit) to have multiple displays via 2 VGA ports. The first VGA is built into the computer and the second is an added video card (VGA). Both of the ports work and both of the monitors work.
-When I boot without the second card, the built in vga works fine.
-When I boot with the second card in and the monitor connected to it, the display works fine.
-When I boot with the second card in and the monitor plugged into the stock one, it doesn't detect!
-When I boot with both of the monitors plugged in, only the added VGA display detects..as if the built in port doesn't even exist.
I tried software downloads, different monitors, etc.
Does my motherboard not support dual VGA? ;(
Thanks for any help!|||You cannont run Onboard Video card and a PCI or PCI-E video card at the same time. if you want to get double displays you need a double display ready video card with 2 vga ports or 2 hdmi ports on the back. but you cannot. plug 1 vga into the video card and the other VGA into the Motherboard ( Onboard Video card) cause it will not ready any of them and it will confuse the OS on witch one to pick and it wont turn anyone of them on.

Dual monitor video card ?
is there a way to install a dual monitor video card or 2 video cards and what is a good video card for what i want to do ?
what i want to do is to have both monitors on at the same time and move some files pages over the other screen when i am working
sometimes i have over 20 pages open and i seen people doing that with the mouse
I have 4gb of ram
thank you|||Yes, like the guy said above me it is possible to do that on one card...
If you are just wanting the card for dual monitoring purposes then you could pick up a card for about 50 bucks...
Here are some video cards that have that function...
I would recommend 2 DVI ports abose to VGA

I'd personally recommend an nVidia video card with two DVI outputs.|||Most new video cards come with a VGA and a DVI output , or two DVI outputs. Either of these configurations will allow you to run a second screen.
Your second screen can then be set up in 3 different ways
Clone - both screens display the same
Extended - your desktop is stretched over the two screens
Dual - this is the option you will probably want. it allows the second screen to be a different resolution and have different settings etc.

Dual Monitor setup- Graphics card quesiton?
Hi. I'm a newbie to graphics cards.
I'm looking to expand my current desktop system (Dell Studio 540s) so that I can have two 24" monitors (1920 x 1080 resolutions each).
I'm not planning on playing any games. But would like it to be fast enough while I'm doing some work in Photoshop.
[1] Is there a single graphics card that will allow me to do this? I've noticed that the specs of a graphics card often has "Maximum resolution", does this max resolution apply to 1 montior or the combined resolution of a dual monitor?
[2] or do I need to buy two cards that will support as least 1920 x 1080 resolution?
[3] Any suggestions for low cost, good performance video cards that will meet my needs?
Thanks!|||According to Dell, your 540S has one PCIExpress 16x slot for graphics cards: http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/sy…
You can get a half-height "low-profile" PCIExpress 16x card that will fit in there, like a low-profile 9500GT, which can support two 1920x1080 monitors: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as…
Hope this helps.|||all you need is 1 card with 2 outputs the resolution is up to you depending on your monitor size.
check here for some great prices on video cards, just be sure the card has 2 outputs on it, usualy a VGA and DVI one blue and one long white.

Graphics card dual monitor HELP! Nvidia people or Dell doesn't matter!?
i'm getting a Zotac GeForce 6200A Video Card - 512MB AGP graphics card an i have a Intel 82865g graphics controller. If i plug a monitor in the graphics card's VGA an another in the graphics controller VGA could i run two monitors?
specs
dell 4600i
p4 2.80 processor
3.50gb ram
40gb hard drive(x2)
also extreme graphics 2 allows for dual monitors(if that helps)|||Er, you should be able to run dual monitors by plugging *both* monitors into the graphics card. Most graphics cards I know now have two monitor slots.|||The problem with Dell is the power supply unit will not have enough power to support the extra graphic Card. You need a 600 watt power supply.
As for two monitors? The video card cannot be AGP as the on-board video is agp controlled. If you get a video card that is pci or pci Express, you will have better luck. With a video card. you have to disable onboard video and have the card as primary.without the card drivers loaded as most recent cards require you to load the drivers later, ie where VgaSafe.is the default video adapter.
When you restart, let it load go to desktop. shut down, Turn on go to bios and enable onboard video. You realise that onboard takes memory from the ram?
40gb hard drive is no good! you need to maintain 20% free space on the main drive at all times. Get a 250 gb HDD or at least a 160gb hdd. Costs only $80!
