Aight, so I feel like hooking up two monitors to my computer. I looked and I can't find a DVI thing on the back of my video card. I'm not even sure if it can support two monitors. How can I find out if I can? If I can how do I connect another monitor without a DVI input?

These convertor thingies will one day take over the free world.

On a more serious note, do you mind posting what kind of video card you have? With that info someone might be able to look it up for you.

Sadly with nVidia cards SE has been coined as "Shit Edition".

If it can't run 2 monitors you could install a second graphics card. I run dual monitors on my Ti4200, which is old now but still a solid card.

Why don't you people ever fucking Google simple questions? I mean, it's not hard to find what you're looking for if you put forth a little effort.


whoa.

I googled this google thing you keep talking about, but i couldn't find anything.

Oderint, dum metuant.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. - Theodore "Teddy" Roosevelt

Calm Down! I thought I would get a faster answer this way. Plus most of the time it doesn't say "Supports dual monitors" on the description of it.

This is a forum. It usually takes people several minutes to respond. It takes a matter of seconds to search for something on a search engine.

If this was on an IRC channel, I could understand the "I thought I would get a faster answer this way", but not on some damn message boards.

Also, if everybody just always answered people politely, people like you would never learn to take initiative.


whoa.

^ here here although i'm on the 7900GS which is great when it works right (DVI port 1 is bust displaying colors incorrectly, my last 7900GS blew up).

If you graphics card has more than one port to connect a monitor into it's most likely going to support dual monitors.

The 8800GTX supports up to 4 monitors with two of them in SLI mode, giving each monitor a GPU each (since they already have 2 GPU's per card).

Even my 5200 PCI card (not PCI-e, 32bit PCI) supported dual monitors so you must suck with that.
