If you have two monitors, one VGA and one DVI/HDMI, side by side, then yes, you will notice the difference as VGA will be blurrier and less sharp.

It depends on how well your eyes track movement and see color. There will be a difference, but it probably won't be very noticeable.

I use a converter and get really good picture quality. Is it top end? Don't know but to the naked eye it looks great.

I use this card with a DVI connection but the card does have an HDMI output on the back of it. Having checked the box specs, it matches the specific product information on this card is at http://www.evga.com/products/Specs/GPU.aspx?pn=da9cfd1c-4a26-4dfe-8ea4-60bfee692152 Neither of them specify HDMI 2.0 because I don't think it had been finalized yet. The product specification does state that it supports 4k resolution. So the answer is, this card will interface with HDMI 2.0 screens, but you may not get the full bandwidth from the HDMI 2.0 spec because we don't really know if this card was made when HDMI 1.4 was the current spec or if the output of its HDMI port really supports HDMI 2.0. Further information available from the HDMI 2.0 spec is at http://www.cnet.com/news/hdmi-2-0-what-you-need-to-know/ I'm sorry I can't be of more help but there just isn't specific information available and I don't have a 4k resolution screen with HDMI to confirm.

Greetings friend Russell P. works like this: The Vga and DVI is a single output (choose one of the two) is the second hdmi output independent and if you need three monitors must install a pci express card which should override the integrated hdmi to activate the card itself if you need analog TV output you'd have to get you one of the 8400 series that bring that out OK. Saludos amigo Russell P. funciona asi: El Vga y el DVI es una sola salida (escoges uno de los dos) el hdmi es la segunda salida independiente y si necesitas tres monitores debes instalar una tarjeta pci express la cual debera anular el hdmi integrado para poder activar el de la propia tarjeta, si necesitas salida TV analogica tendras que buscarte una de la serie 8400 que traen el esa salida OK.

Amazingly I still have the box. My box is PNY and smaller, 1 Gb and just checked it and has the low profile adapter (still in plastic !) Actually it has two, so you can use the VGA and HD connections side by side. Kind of dumb to use the VGA connector these days. Just one thing, I get a 7.3 and 7.4 on CPU (6 core AMD) and memory (8 GB 8200) but only 4.8 (lowest I have) so this is no "gaming" card. I have a work PC (6 core AMD and 8 Gb memory) and another $35 GForce card with the same stinky results. I have Win 7 and use this so I can see the 12 Pale Moon pages I have open with the "peep" turned on. I'm a school tech, so lots of checking and sites open at work and home. I'm usually 1.3 Gb of web page memory. My work one is a 500 MB memory GForce... To get high scores.. you need those $300+ cards. I have watched Amazon TV at full screen and it comes up in HD (24" monitor) real nice. Google it and you'll hear the same results, not for big time gaming (high frame rates) and that stuff no matter how much memory.

They are both basically the same card, but EVGA usually has a tendency to make very high quality NVidia cards. One system I made has this card installed in it and another one has the EVGA one in it and this one is a bit louder once the fans hit a certain RPM threshold. Neither card came with any cables that I can remember minus PSU convertors and DVI to VGA adapter.

All I know about is my own usage, which is to operate a 17" monitor that only has vga output. I don't notice any difference in the output from that monitor than from its previous usage.

I cannot get any picture on the 2nd moniter. I am positive I have all DPcables connected properly, yet nothing on moniter 2 It just displays the same maddening message: "No DP connecter". I have ordered the $76+tax Startech MSTMDP122DP Mini DisplayPort to 2x DisplayPort Multi Stream Transport Hub. Pissed off here. Dell effed up with these monitors. Eric.O is absolutlely correct.

I believe the answer is indeed no. Don't have the technical terms at my fingertips, however I've been running lots of monitors with various graphics cards for years. In the end it seems to always comes down to the number of GPU's when running HDMI, DVI, or even older VGA monitors. I believe there is a technical limitation that you can only run 2 HDMI/DVI/VGA monitors per GPU. Since this only has 1 GPU, you can only run 2 non-DP monitors. You could however, run 2 HDMI and then more DP monitors at the same time. For me I just used all DP monitors and it has been working great for business apps etc. I believe the answer is indeed no.

I have 3 of these my kids use for gaming. 2 at my cabin and 1 on a spare PC at home. Look at millisecond rating not hertz for speed. They are plenty fast and cheap too. Highly recommend for cheap gaming rig. The seller I bought mine from gave me a choice of either the old VGA or DVI cord. I would assume VGA cord unless you confirm with your seller. Get / Use DVI connection for best image quality.

I agree with what ReynerN said in response to your question; so long as you have a DVI output from your desktop, VGA is cake.

No it does not.... Usually there's a six pin power cable a long with a 2 pin power for some higher power consuming gpus but this one only uses a six pin. Your power supply should have a cable that fits... And for the VGA to dvi adapter it also does not come with one you can purchase one but if you're getting multiple monitors you want to get one that changes the signal since your gpu might not do that when you get up to 3 monitors

Is the GC capable of outputting DP++ (multi-mode) signals? Yes Should I use the active or passive DisplayPort to DVI Adapter? I would use the active DisplayPort .

I have found that the display port gives the greatest picture in my experience so far (about 3 months). I have tested all 3, albeit the dvi was coming from hdmi port on my computer.

To the best of my knowledge, the Y adapter reduces the VGA signal to each monitor to half of the signal that is coming out of the Video Card. This dims the brightness of each display. It is my personal thinking that if you want a clearer, sharper display you would be better off with the second Video Card. I am assuming that you are using a desktop computer. The VGA Y splitter will NOT "extend" the desktop, but will only duplicate the desktop on both displays.

Mine didn't work. I asked for a replacement but its been over a month and nothing has arrived so far. I have been sent tracking numbers so I think they tried sending a new one but it just hasn't arrived. I wouldn't buy this if I were you. In theory it should work though. VGA is analog and thus is a lower resolution than HDMI. I'm going to buy a whole new monitor that supports DVI rather than dealing with the crappy quality of my VGA monitor. Its up to you man I wouldn't buy though.

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."

This thing didn't work after 2 hours of play day of installation. Having read other disparaging reviews, and because I'm getting a bit of a runaround on trying to RMA it, I'd say avoid it. Went instead with a GTX 770 and no complaints.
