Problem with dual display on (Sapphire) Radeon 5450

[DaPurpleRT]

Hey guys,

Got two of these cards as I need to output to an HDMI TV and a VGA monitor at the same time. I am having trouble getting it to actually duplicate the desktop on both devices rather than extending from one to the other, even if I choose clone. Also they need to have different resolutions as the monitor cannot handle full 1080p as the TV can.

UI updated to the new Catalyst control center but still not luck. What can I do to get this to work?

TIA.

You can not have different resolutions when you mirror the two monitors. Even with dual gfx cards.

So there is absolutely no way to have the screen outputted in 2 different resolutions?

Yes it is possible but it will be abit tricky though.
If you can cross fire with 2 compatible ati hd 5450's and something else your in luck!
Bewarned though, that not all cards will do this effectively or not at all.
Make sure windows has the correct monitor/tv drivers before attempting this.
