I see only one monitor connection, but am running two monitors. How does that work or is this card unusable for a two-monitor configuration?

So, yeah it only has one DVI out connection but it also has the apple specific video out, I believe it's the mini display port ( you should double check that's what it is called). With that second connection I know you can also send out a video signal, so you should be able to run a dual-monitor set up. Hope this helps.

there are three connections. One large DVI and two mini DVI. You can definitely run two monitors. the 3rd takes some adapters. You'll have to hit the apple forums to get that info.

Features:* ATI Radeon HD 5770 includes three video ports: two Mini DisplayPorts and one dual-link DVI port. This allows you to connect the 24-inch Apple LED Cinema Display plus another Mini DisplayPort-based display, and a DVI-based display such as the 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display.

I have two on mine and room for one more. You need a mini display adapter for those other little ports.

Yes, you can run multiple displays. I bought the card primarily so that I could connect HDMI cable from the card to the monitor using HDMI port. I would suggest using the HDMI and the DVI ports on the card to the monitors, NOT the VGA port which would have the least video quality / resolutions support unless you do not have any monitors with HDMI connecitons. Then you will have to use VGA port.

Hi, This card will support two monitors simultaneously, as stated in the manual. Given that, I don't really see why you would want to drive one monitor from the card and one from the motherboard - using system RAM rather than dedicated graphics RAM. However, if the latter is what you wanted to do, I can't think why that would not work. But, it's a great card at a bargain price so why not drive two monitors from it?

Thanks so much for your response. I'll go ahead and bust it out of the package and try it out. Trying to connect an extra monitor!! Lee

i have the same CPU that you have. I use Intel (on chip) graphics with 1 monitor thru DVI. I do not have a graphics card. I verified that if I switch my monitor over to its HDMI input, it is receiving signal from the mother board HDMI port. This would imply that you can drive 2 monitors thru onboard chipset graphics (without having any graphics card). Of course you will need minor changes in the operating system control panel screen settings.

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

The card has the ability to use three monitors. Just make sure one of the monitors has a HDMI port. You have two DVI ports and one HDMI.

Yes, you should be able to do that. I just tested it. Now my nvidia control panel shows two monitors under the "multiple display setup". I connect my second monitor to the motherboard, but it's better if you connect it to this graphics card.

I've never had any problems with two screens. Just be sure to use DVI or display port because HDMI can cause isses (but this is not specific to this card.)

Rob I the specs say "supports 2 monitors." This is really great card for the prize and based on many comparisons I made. Look at the specs at visiontek.. you may want to call visiontek to double check on the monitor capability but I do not believe it will support 3 monitors. If you end up buying this buy it from Amazon. Reason is I had a problem on a return to visiontek on another card. they are a bit hard nosed. Check my Amazon review on a different visiontek card I purchased and exchanged. Amazon took care of it. Not sure how much expertise you have with computers but if it is an older one the motherboard may not handle it. so check the mobo also. Good luck. Rob I the specs say "supports 2 monitors."

Yes, I am using an ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series card and the active converter in this adapter allows the 3rd display to be used. I'm using 2 monitors via DVI and a TV hooked up to this adapter and all 3 can be configured to work simultaneously (split screen, same output, etc.)

I have seen references to ATI Eyefinity software that is supposed to support three monitors from this card, but I have not installed that software, nor have I tried three monitors on the card I have ( two works well, and that's what I need personally ). Also, if you're forced to use a low profile card, you will only be able to see the hdmi and dvi ports with the lo profile adapter on the card.

I"m not using adapters, but get great pictures on two monitors using dvi. Not sure why you wouldn't be.

It didn't work for me... Do you have two monitors that each have VGA connectors, but you have a computer that has one VGA port and one HDMI port? That is what I had, and I found although this seems like it would connect the two, it doesn't work. I found success with an adaptor that connected via the USB port that was ~$40 from Best Buy. I had failed with this cable as well as two other splitters. The spitters left me with mirror images/replicas and this connector quite frankly did nothing. Good luck!

Yes. You need to buy a splitter cable that has two ends. Pay attention to the end connectors and make sure they will work with your monitors. The software will install a small app in control panel for you so you can manipulate the settings. I have had zero problems with this card and the price is right!

one dvi port serves for Y cables to support two monitors, the other supports one. Haven't tested it yet, but that's what the manual says

I presently have three monitors connected to the card with two other slots available. Since I do not have the need for five monitors I have not tested such a configuration however, the three that I have work perfectly. One for gaming, one for general use, and the other for streaming Netflix movies. Being ADHD this config satisfies my need for multiple views. :-)
