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

You can run two monitors from the dual outputs of the mother board and you can also add a video card, download the motherboard manual from the website and both methods are explained. I just hooked up a second monitor to my board and configured both monitors in the AMD Control Center, very simple.

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

This card only supports two monitors. Assuming you are running a recent Intel CPU you should be able to run an additional two monitors off the integrated CPU.

I'm using a hackintosh rig running Mavericks. With Chimera and the proper drivers, I am using a second graphics card to dual display with an HDMI and a DVI. I'm sure the motherboard could handle dual display HDMI though-- I don't see why they'd put it in otherwise.

this device supports vga, otherwise you would need an adaptor. it allows you to use two pcs with one monitor, mouse and keyboard.

I can't see the specific flavor of the x700 that you are intending to purchase but the answer is most likely not. You will want two graphics cards to run two monitors via HDMI cables because most cards come with one HDMI, one DP, and one DVI. on the positive side, Lenovo designed these gaming machines to make it incredibly easy to open up and add new stuff. Even the cables that connect the Extra GPU are sitting there just waiting for you.

Up to three actually, but the third must be vga...the two can be both display port, one can be dvi and one can be hdmi

Yes, but remember each will get a piece of the processing power from the GPU. It is better to run a video card for the these purposes. You can get a decent mid range card for under a hundred bucks. Another consideration is that unless you lower the resolution on HDMI and DVI to that of VGA, your resolution will be inconsistent. This is very annoying when trying to work with multiple screens.

I'm running two monitors on it right now. Just be aware, there is one VGA port and one DVI port available with the onboard setup, so if you are wanting to run dual DVI monitors, you'll need an additional video card. If you're fine with one on VGA and one on DVI, you're good to go out of the box.

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.

The gpu, which is the geforce gt 640, has 1 hdmi, and 1 dvi. The 2nd hdmi port is connected to the motherboard, but I couldn't find out how to use it nor did I spend much time figuring out how to use it because I only have 1 monitor so I plugged it into the gpu hdmi. Hope this helps.

Yes. 2 HDMI outputs and 2 DVI allows you to use a three screen gaming setup and have a fourth screen for other stuff (GTX 680 at least). Check the nvidia website, they answer all these questions and have pictures of such setups.

Yes, any OS...and if you use more than one monitor, make sure your motherboard/graphics card is compatible with more than one display.

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?

It has a VGA port and DVI Port. So you can have 2 displays, one connected to each port. It cannot do 2 VGA or 2 DVI though.

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.
