I have just bought this card

http://www.newegg.com/Product/CustratingReview.asp?item=N82E16814143049

and realized that there are two DVI outputs. Can I use two monitors with it? And how to do it?

I have one big good monitor (22'') and another smaller one, and all I want is to use second monitor occasionally to watch data processing while working with the big one. Can I do this with this card? If not, what is minimum should I buy to be able to do it?

I have a good MB: asus P5b-deluxe...

Thanks!
 
Yes you can hook up 2 monitors. All you do is plug both in, then go into display settings and activate the 2nd one. You can either stretch the desktop to the 2nd monitor or make it a clone.
 
Does this also work when the video card has an S-Video plug, VGA, and DVI outputs?

So if u hooked up the SVIDEO to a tv, the VGA to a monitor, and the DVI to a monitor, u could have 3 monitors running either a clone or an extended desktop all at once?
 
Guys, I actually only now desided to try extended desktop on second monitor and realized that in parameters of NVidia settings it does not allow for extended desktop. It can horizontally span or vertically span two monitors. You can understand how it looks with 22' monitor and 15'' monitor :(
 
I use a program called UltraMon, and it has a feature called "DualView", that is, I can have two windows in each monitor, like the stereotypical dual-monitor setup.
 
Nevermind, new drivers should be installed. In package were drivers of 2003 lol, probably there was no desktop extension at that time.
