If i buy 2 will these be able to connect together and have dual monitors on my dell optiplex 780?

This is a matter of what type of video card you have. This monitor has a VGA connector. Make sure your video card has dual VGA outputs.

Insufficient information. There are five different video cards that can come with a stock OptiPlex 780s, so it may or may not work for you without any changes. Look on the back for two VGA ports that are near each other (blue 25-pin trapezoidal ports). If you have them, it'll work. If not, then probably not, though you may be able to make it work with a DVI-to-VGA adapter (if there's a white port next to a blue port).

Ask your manufacterer, I asked the seller by email. I put mine in my Dell Optiplex GX280 2002 and they work just fine. I don't even know what your PC is.

It will connect them as a second monitor. The trouble I ran into is with two VGA monitors, they would flash back and forth between monitor one and monitor two. I ended up buying the write dvi-d monitor

Yes, this will run in the optiplex, however it will be limited to due to your PCIe slot only being 1.0, but it should work.

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!

No. It will only let you connect one monitor at a time. Recommend getting a dual display port adapter.

I mean, it would run with two 780's... but the secondary PCIe slot is not a full speed slot, plus this board is from the GTX 600 series / AMD HD7000 series era so I'm inclined to say no. It would work, but your second 780 wouldn't see its full potential on only an 8X/4X slot. If you're going to spend that much money for two 780's, I'd get a board that is specifially designed for crossfiring high-end cards, where both PCIe bays can reach full 16X speed. This isn't what I'd call a high-end board.

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.

Yes, but both card must be same memory and a GTX 780. Can be different makers but it 's better to use same graphic cards.

I think it is. No problems using it with Dell OptiPlex 3020 towers for dual monitor configuration.

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.

I would say most likely. I am currently using 2 video adapters for 2 monitors.

Hi, thanks for contacting us. If you get a dms 59 cable this card will support two different monitors. 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

yes u absolutely can. i have 2 of these card running 4 monitors but before i bought my second card i was running the 4 monitors on the single card

Yes you can use dual monitors with it. bear in mind that the video card has the correct pin configuration. It is not the standard VGA connection to the computer

No. This will show the same thing on both screens. You need a video card with dual outputs to do what you want.

You can use the DVI and HDMI to run two monitors. You can also use the DVI connector and the onboard VGA connector. That is the way I use it (my monitors don't have an HDMI connection). To use the DVI+VGA you have to go into the BIOS setup and enable the onboard VGA.
