Will it be necessary to enable multidisplay in computer BIOS in order to use this card? Thanks.

you do not have to enable multi Display but you will have to turn off the video card on the mother board for this one to work

No bios change for me. However, that could depend on your system and whether or not you're already using a card instead of the motherboard. But I believe that Windows 8.1 handles the video drivers and such so no bios change should be needed.

I got three of these last summer, installed one on XP, one on Win7. Each worked fine--I copied drivers to the hard drive before installing software but don't recall needing them. I never touched the BIOS for either box.

On this one I believe we just installed it and it worked - we have a few different multi monitor cards - the ones that have one plug with two monitor ends are usually plug & play

I am not sure about this feature. The card can support 4 monitors and run " independent " windows. As far as " stretched display mode ". I am not sure. I would recommend to to ask this question to tech support team at manufacturer's web site. They can really give you a answer to this question.

Typically that is a question of your video card and not of your motherboard. Most video cards can support up to 3 monitors now though.

It will only work in 1x no matter what. You will have a bad gaming experience due to the bottleneck. With that said it is good enough to run a second monitor for a 2d desktop. But in my experience only 2 out of 3 of my motherboards will even recognize the video card on the express extension. And all my boards are Asus

Depends on video card output, some require active adapters on some ports. This is not an active adapter.

It should be fine as your BIOS (mine is older than yours) probably allows both on-board VGA and a graphic card on the system. I set auto VGA mode in my BIOS and set the graphic card as the primary VGA in Windows display setting. I use 3 monitors: one from on-board VGA (VGA port) and two from the VGA card (DVI and HDMI). So the monitor connected to the on-board VGA will start first, but the primary monitor connected to my VGA card will be switched to prompt for a login window.

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!

From your question it sounds like you have on existing on-board graphics card which you have disabled? Then you installed this card, and now want to install drivers for the new card. If that is the case, then the card should be showing video when you power the machine on (make sure the monitor is plugged in to the new card and not to the on-board video out). You should see your BIOS logo and the Windows loading screen while the machine boots. The card should automatically work in a limited low-resolution mode even without any drivers. Using this mode, you can then download the newest drivers and install them. You may have to reboot before the higher resolutions become available, but after that you should be able to change display settings to whatever you want them to be. If you are not getting any video on your monitor, you could always remove the card from the computer and attach the monitor to the on-board card and it should still work. I believe the on-board card will be used automatically when there is no other card, even if it is set to be disabled. If you still can't get any output on the monitor, you can always reset the BIOS (look in the manual for your motherboard for instructions) which would re-enable the on-board card.

If you are trying to install 2 of these cards into the same PC, the answer is "no". I asked SYBA tech support this exact same question, and they told me 2 cards would not work in the same PC. Hope this helps.

Depending on your video card and drivers, you are technically suppose to do that. It also depends on how old your computer is. I could not get it to work on three computers so be very cautious.

Do you have video card or onboard video support? Are you plugged into the right component? I think if you have onboard video, it has to be disabled in BIOS before you can plug in your video card and vice versa but I could be wrong as I haven't had this issue. Like others said, it could be mobo related... Just hard to imagine even after a flash that the mobo went bad if you can still get in to BIOS... What mobo are you using?

No, this card is a 2 head card. For three monitors you would require a2 separate card with at least 2 video heads on 1 card. There are some cards on the market that have several heads VIA cables.

Correction, you're tying to run both? Why? This card has dual screen capability, you shouldn't need the other card at all.

I recently just set mine up last night. I am using 3 monitors and had to go into the BIOS and enable onboard video to get the 3rd monitor to work. 2 of my monitors are plugged into the Video Card using 1 DVI and 1 HDMI and the 3rd is plugged into onboard DVI. Im assuming you could use the extra onboard VGA to hook up a 4th monitor if you needed to. If you didn't want to use VGA then you would have to install a 2nd video card in the machine.

Video card does not require 2 displays. But you may connect up to 2 displays to this desktop. Thank you

Yes, I use multiple displays. For crossfire, it should support, I see plug-in on card and cable line for that.

None whatsoever. The important thing to remember is to use a DVI-D cable on the correct port of your video card. I have a GTX780 and there are two DVI ports so I had to research a bit.
