Can I use this graphics card for my main display, and use my motherboard for my 2nd display? if not, can i have 2 monitors in that graphics card?

This video card can be used as duo monitor one can be hdmi, vga or dvi. For my set up my tv is hdmi and my monitor is dvi... you can set it up on display options in windows settings.

I'm not quite sure but I think you will have to disable the on board graphics in the BIOS,meaning you can use only one or the other.First turn on the computer, then check your BIOS by tapping the F2 key( located in the top row of your keyboard) repeatedly before your splash screen appears. Grey screen will appear.There you may find that info.CAUTION:do not do anything other then using your arrow keys for scrolling and exiting.This may apply to any computers.Please let me know if that info is correct. Thank you

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 should be able to use another graphics card simotaneously with this one. If you aren't running more than a two screen setup this would be highly unnecessary. Unless you run animation/3D modeling editing software on both screens or simotaneously

I am running a single video card system. But the space between the video cards must be ample to support 2 dual cards. Doesn't look like enough room to me but the motherboard does support 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.

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.

If the question is "can you install another graphics card?" the answer is yes. If the question is "can you update the installed graphics card?" I don't know.

The answer is yes you can use multiple monitors with this video card. on the video card there's an VGA, HDMI , and a DVI connector. even if you use up 1 of those 3 ports on the back of the card there are adapters that you can get for your monitor cable to the back of the other port on the video card. Also 1 of the best multi monitor programs out there is called: display fusion pro. Windows 7 does support dual monitors but display fusion pro ados a whole lot more features to it. Hope this helps. www.DHCS.org

There is insuffient information here to answer your question Fredrick. My Intel graphics is built into the motherboard and is automatically disabled when a e16 card is installed. But there is nothing - as far as I can see - to stop me from installing a second card (i.e. PCI). One reason I chose the specific NVIDIA card was because it allowed a second display. Hope this helps.

I currently run this card with dual monitors. Depending on your cords you should be able to as well you can also utilize adapters to make it so you can attach each one if they are different.

Impossible to answer without more specs on your system. But a safe bet would be to graph your power supply and check your BIOS. If your BIOS settings are correct and your power supply isn't being taxed, I really don't see an issue with this card. What will you be using this card for, as an additional card for multiple displays as I wrote about on my original revue or as your primary? I realize it's a relatively silly question, but I think it's also an important one. Besides the price for this card and Amazon's awesome return policy, I don't think you have much to lose other than a little time if it doesn't work for you. Good luck either way.

I will agree with Louie. If your motherboard has a vga output, you can use that in addition to the one available on this card, but otherwise you'll need a monitor that accepts a dvi or hdmi input to run dual monitors.

No. The Nvidia drivers only allow you to use 2 monitors at a single time with this card. I tried to use 3 monitors using the Windows interface and then again with the Nvidia driver interface. The Windows interface doesn't allow you to use 3 monitors but doesn't tell you why. The Nvidia interface specifically tells you that this card only supports 2 video outputs.

Yes. To run the second card make sure you've got a 600 watt Psu and try to get one of the cables that has a molex adapter to reduce the strain on the motherboard

Depends what you want to do with it. Can you run 3 monitors? Yes. Can you play games on 3 monitors? Probably not. http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1649970/geforce-gtx-650-run-monitors.htmlhttp://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/video-cards/57285-video-card-choices-3-4-monitors.htmlhttp://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1649970/geforce-gtx-650-run-monitors.html#.

as I use a video card with the same 3 video outputs ( and use 2 at the sametime) I really cannot say yes or no. but as a motherboard is designed to more then a video card I would say that you probley could

Dual monitors work just make sure that your hardware (motherboard and processor) supports dual monitors.

This Model of Mother Board is more than enough to support two of these Graphic Cards. But keep this in mind when going for SLI, that this is a dual Slot Card, meaning you will not be able to place another card in the next immediate PCI Experss slot. So, if your PCI Express Slots are given as X16, X16, X8, X8 (From Top), you can put First Graphics Card in X16 and the next one only in X8. Although this should not affect much of a performance, as none of present Graphics Cards never make use of the complete X16 configuration.
