Dual Monitors

[Brinson]

Can I use an onboard plus a regular video card to run a dual monitor setup or do I need a dual monitor card?

 

[Luke]

no, you canot use both the integrated and your other card to use two monitors. You will have to get a gpu with 2 monitor hook ups.

the nvidia 7800 has 2 and it is cheap

I swear i have read this topic 3 times today. Is the search function broken today? No you cant use onboard and a video card at the same time people.

You need a card with two outputs, which is standard today.

I've seen it work before, but I've also seen it fail.

You can use a dual head card or two single cards.
