Can you run a single monitor with this? Basically, I have a DMS59 card and a standard VGA monitor. Just want to use the card and the monitor.

Yes, you can. You don't have to use 2 monitors. For the card or cable to work properly

You can run three monitors with this card, but you must run the third one on HDMI or Display Port as there are only to DVI ports. I also believe you can daisy chain on Display Port. I suggest you check the Sapphire website and review the manual for the card. Remember that this is the 4GB card - it's the last card on the list of R9 cards.

Dell has two monitor slot on a single graphic card. In that case yes you can hook up two monitor at a time.Dell is very users friendly in the matter of dual monitor use.

You can use that, but I have never had much luck with the USB to VGA adapters. you may want to try to use something like this:StarTech DVI to VGA Cable Adapter, M/F (DVIVGAMF)

If you have a spliter on 1 of them yes, but it will only replicate. you wont be able to have independent monitors with a single card. spend the money and buy a better card, and get 2 if you want more than 2 monitors.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. This card will do what you are looking to do but you will need a video card that has a dms 59 out put on it to use it. Unfortunately we do not have another card that will do this with out the dms 59 out put. I am sorry and if there is anything else I can do for you or if you have any other questions please let me know.Sincerely,Chris Nickels Red Planet Trading

Hi, that shoud be work, but probably you need a second graphic controller. Or you have a graphic controller the can controled two high resolution screens. The have DVI-D interface only! I use him on my laptop with adaptor DVI-D to Display port. (With USB power supply) Its working fine.

hello Brucethe only way to use this with one computer having a Display port is if you get an adaptor that will convert to DVI.. as those are the two only inlets for this switch box, DVI and VGA... you could do search for display port converters and you will get a wealth options that you can use with this switch box..

I run dual monitors all the time with no problems. The card has a DVI, HDMI, and a VGA port. You can also use the second monitor or the standard graphics from your mother board.

If your machine has a dvi port you can split it with a dvi to two vga connector. If not you will have to get a different video card. You could also call tech support from where you got it they will help you.

Yes. Dual monitors should work fine provided you use any 2 of the three interfaces (DVI, HDMI, VGA). Using three monitors seems to have been an issue for some, and using 2 monitors with same interface/cable would require an adapter and *might* cause an issue. Just use one DVI and one HDMI and you will be fine!That being said...if you plan on doing anything more than watching video or playing VERY simple games (like puzzle/adventure games or old school DX9 games) then I have to agree with KYle -- buy a cheap graphics card. The nice thing about this new board is it is cheap,rock solid(so far), and allows you to make that upgrade down the line when you have more cash. Yes.

Same experience here -- I couldn't get it to support 3 monitors concurrently.We ended up getting DisplayLink USB to VGA adapters for the third monitor, since we're just doing office work (documents, spreadsheet, emails). It's worked well and seemed to be the lowest cost option.If you need 3 monitors for gaming, I assume you would need 2 graphics cards (and probably a stronger power supply), although I haven't done it so can't confirm.

Only if you have the DMS-59 connector, its Wider by 1/4 of an inch then DVI. If you have a DVI then NO!. You will need another splitter for DVI to 2x VGA. see

DMS-59 is a proprietary connector developed by ATI. Unless your docking station has this connector it will not work. What I would suggest as a work around is connect one external monitor and use the laptop's primary screen. Sorry if this is stating the obvious.

The answer is yes you can use multiple monitors with this video card. on the video card there's an VGA, HDMI , and a DVI connector. even if you use up 1 of those 3 ports on the back of the card there are adapters that you can get for your monitor cable to the back of the other port on the video card. Also 1 of the best multi monitor programs out there is called: display fusion pro. Windows 7 does support dual monitors but display fusion pro ados a whole lot more features to it. Hope this helps. www.DHCS.org

Yes you can run dual monitors on it. It does not really have a dedicated video card, but it has one analog d-sub connector and one HDMI connector on the back panel supplied by the Intel Graphics chip on the main board. You can also get a HDMI to DVI cable if you have a monitor that has DVI but no HDMI.
