Dual Monitor Support From Graphics Cards?

Can anyone advise how I tell if a PCI graphics card can support dual screens or not? My work PC uses a graphics card with two monitors, one runs off the 15 pin adapter, ad the other runs of the DVI. Do all grpahics cards have the ability to run dual screens in this way, or di I have to fork out for specific models?





Reason I ask is that I need the same set up at home (but dont have quite as much disposable income!). Thanks in advance

Not all cards support dual monitors. You can find similar adapters in many places for very little money. Some systems will let you plug in an additional video card, but your best bet is to get an inexpensive card that will do what you want.
Reply:in my experience, if it has 2 plugs in the back, it can support dual monitors


or you could just get 2 video cards and hook them up to separate monitors


that how we got 4 monitors on 1 computer at school





and a splitter wont work


it will only duplicate the image on the second monitor


ive tried already
Reply:all modern day gfx cards can handle dual monitors whether they are dual d sub, d sub %26amp; dvi or dual dvi...





plus if you have a sli motherboard and two gfx cards then you can run 4 monitors!
Reply:Check what card you have and read up on it's specs. they say if they can handle 2 monitors. Also, some will work with a splitter so both can use the VGA adapter or both can use the DVI....
