On an optiplex 780, already using a vga port, can I use this to add a second monitor?

Yes, this a device that can be used to add a second monitor. I use mine to view my screen on a 55" HDTV.

The reason we bought this adapters in the office, was to increase productivity by adding a second monitor. So far we had no problems at all.

I am assuming you want to "extend the displays"? If this is so then no, your video card needs to have two monitor ports in order to "extend the displays". You will only be able to mirror them with this splitter.

You can only use 1 at a time. I am not sure how the adaptor will pick which port has priority but I know the full size display port has priority over the DVI port. The frame rate is perfect. This is not a USB port so the mini display port is like having an extra DVI, Display or HDMI port on the computer. Your Video Card will need to support the number of Monitors you plan to use. I have a Nvidia K1000M and it supports up to 3 monitors. I am using the 2 built in ports on my computer plus this for a total of 3 monitors.

It has 4 ports (2 DVI, 1 HDMI, 1 Display Port) so technically you can but I've personally been taught that for more than two monitors you should run two cards.

You can hook up any two monitors that have a connection for display port and dvi regardless of resolution. You can even use an adapter to dvi, hdmi, or display port to suit whatever you monitor has inputs for including going back to VGA

Hi, Yes you are correct, there are two displayport interfaces and one VGA.Thanks, PCrush

i have 2 monitors hooked up - 1 through standard VGA and 1 through a DVI -> HDMI connector (the computer has an HDMI port). but they are old monitors, and it took a bit of doing to find the correct windows drivers. but it is doable.

I wish I knew. I couldn't afford more than one. I do know that I was NOT able to put a 2nd card in to move the number of monitors to 8 total. My mother board would allow me to put more than 1 card in if the second card was not this vision tek card. My point being it wasn't a limitation of the motherboard.

Yes, supports two monitors. I have 1 VGA and 2nd VGA connected via a dvi-i to VGA adapter. Dvi-d is the digital version on some cards that requires a more expensive active adapter.

Hello, I do not think that you would be able to connect an additional monitor unless there is a way to do that by USB

You most definitely can. In a matter of fact. I have 3 Dell monitors as well. Keep in mind that you will have to get a DVI-I splitter in order to split one of your DVI inputs.

You would need to get either two DVI to VGA adapters or two DVI to VGA cables. Or better yet, two monitors with DVI inputs.

You certainly can. Remember it is always better to go with one graphics card over two so you might want to look at just one 780ti instead for the time being then maybe down the road adding a second one when they become less expensive. You'll save money now and get even better performance later.

yes, im currently using this vcard; you will need to buy an "active display port".

Yes, I use the HDMI port to add a 2nd monitor so I can use the dual monitor feature of Windows.

Yes you can but you will need an HDMI to DVI cable for the second monitor. This is how mine is set up
