Can I use 2 monitros with 1 video Card?

Canterville · 11-17-2006, 06:50 PM

The story is I bought a Dell desktop but found the monitor and video card are bad for gaming. So I upgrade the video card to a GF 7600GT and bought another monitor with DVI output. The dell monitor only has VGA output and the GF 7600GT has both DVI and VGA output.

What I am wondering is if I can actually connect both these two monitors to the GF 7600GT card or not?

Yup. Just go to display proporties, settings, advanced, and the Nvidia tab. All the settings should be within those menus.

What about running 4?

running 2 monitor will be fun I am looking forward to experiencing that!

another concern remains though, Does Dell Dimension still suck at gaming even after upgrading the video card and monitor?

specs:
DIM E520,Intel Pentium D Processor 820 with Dual Core Technology(2.80GHz,800FSB)
1GB DDR2 SDRAM at 533MHz
GF 7600GT PCI express
BenQ FP222W BK Black 22" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 700:1

Well, what was the stock video card?

Canterville · 11-18-2006, 01:06 AM

GF 7300 LE came with the comp

Yes, the gaming will be worlds better. I think it is safe to say that that video card is twice as fast as your old one.

I got around 20 FPS whiling playing World of Warcaft and got ghosting, which make the experience worse
