Multiple Monitors

Hey, with my new video card I can use multiple monitors. How do I do it though? If I plug my second monitor into my old monitor spot, nothing happens.

 

Hmm, thanks for the quick reply.

The problem that I seem to be having is that the second monitor cable won't fit into the other slot in the video card. Here's a link to my video card. If you look at the picture, you can see a normal monitor plug spot and then a different one. I looked on my monitor and it sais I could plug one of those in but should I buy that cable and would that allow me to use dual display?

 

The different one is DVI, Digital, Lot's of LCD monitors use this interface, you can purchase a DVI to VGA adaptor to connect a second CRT monitor.

Oh OK thanks, I can order that soon because I'm ordering 1 gig of RAM from there soon and can just include that with it. Two bad I will have to use my old CRT monitor.

 

That GFX only has DIGITAL DVI. The converter is Hybrid DVI (Digital + Analog), and it just routes the analog part to the VGA end. It won't fit because your GFX is missing the analog pins. In conculsion, It wont work.

 

Why not? If you look at the images, it looks like it has the right connections.

 

B.S.
I think iandoh is missing a few pins

It Will Work!

 

Ok cool, I'll buy one of those as well when I upgrade my RAM.

 

all you need it an adaptor, why wouldn't it work? my card has 2x DVI and I am usin g a DVI-VGA adaptor and it works fine.
