Can you use two monitors at the same time via VGA and HDMI? Can it do 1080 on the external monitor?

I am using two 1080 HDMI monitors using the HDMI port and a SIIG USB Display Link with no problems.

There is one HDMI and one 15 pin connector. I have not tried to use dual monitors as yet on this PC. Good luck.

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?

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.

Naturally no, but its potentially possible to use 2 of these at the same time if you buy an adapter that allows for dual monitors.

I haven't tried the HDMI but I have lesser cards that I do that with. I run 2 monitors both DVI with this card.

There should be 2 VGA ports IIRC and an HDMI. Try it with a different monitor too!!

To my knowledge this will only split the same screen onto two monitors, if the VGA port supports 1080 this cable will carry it but it does not give you two seperate monitor images to work from. i.e. excel on one and word on the other, if excel is on one monitor you will get excel on the other monitor, my cable was about 18 inches overall

Yes, I am currently running three monitors, with one on display port with an HD 7770. Works great so far, been running it for about two months without issue.

There is a VGA, HDNI and DVI port on the back graphics card.We are only driving a 26' monitor, so I don't know if it drive multiple monitors.

not sure about two external monitors, but you can run dual monitors when you count your laptop display as one of the two monitors.

Yes, as long as you have the dvi out on your computer and the display port out on your computer, then you will be able to do the dual monitors this way. I currently have a dell with a vga out and a hdmi out. I have one monitor go to the vga and the other to the hdmi. This is nice that it works this way because most newer computers now come built with multiple video outs. Which means you don't have to spend the extra dollars getting a high performance video card with dual adapters.

you don't need this to do that, all you need is to plug in an external monitor into the VGA port and if it has sufficient memory it can access both monitors without this cable

Yes, this graphics card supports dual-monitors. Two options for the HDMI: Mini-HDMI (port on card) to HDMI patch cable or a DVI-D to HDMI patch cable. I personally would do a DVI-D to HDMI patch cable as they are more readily available but either would work.Nothing else would be needed, i.e. no adapters (not even sure what an adapter would be for)I'm currently running dual 23-inch monitors with DVI-D connections at 1920x1080. Movies, video games, etc look great and are a big improvement from the on-board graphics card that comes on a off-the-shelf desktop PC.

No you can't run dual monitors with the onboard ports you will need to use a video card. I have already exhausted all other possibilities.

You can have two monitors connected without needing any other hardware. One connected to the VGA port and the second to the HDMI port. Both VGA and HDMI are active in the default configuration.

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.
