Support NeoGAF

[BruceWayne]

I'm trying to do dual display with this card.
The box says its supports dual display, the manual says it supports dual display, but I can't find anywehre that explains how to connect it considering the card has only following outputs:
Video in, Cable in, Video out and DVI port.

So how am I to connect the second monitor to this video card?

Thanks

Hopefully you have an ATI card and not an AIT card.

You can't have two monitors on this card, period. You can, however, have one monitor and a TV screen.

If you want two monitors, I suggest a cheapy nvidia Geforce MX PCI card or something.

Wrong, there's a DVI conector that splits to two monitors. Or you could hook up a vga, and a DVI monitor. Best bet is get the DVI --> Two VGA outs.

Molex P/N : 887-6674-00 Rev. C is the cable splitter I have.

This may work as well:

Hey muncheese,
HOw would that converter(from the link) work?

It just converts DVI to VGA and not split it to two.

That link isn't the splitter I'm talking about. Mine is a Y cable that goes from 1 dvi to 2 vga outs. I tried looking for the splitter online but I couldn't find it(mine came with my video card).

The connector from newegg, It seems you just hook up one monitor to the reg vga, and the second one to the dvi->vga connector. That's what I gather, I've never used it.

edit:

Just saw the card you have.....it doesn't have a VGA.....Hmmmm. I found one site in japanese that seems to carry the cable from molex.

Do a page find on this link for 88766-7400.

I didn't realize that cable was that expensive.

Woah! Hold the phone!

That's a splitter, dude. That will get you the same image on two monitors.

I believe what our poster is wanting is two independent monitors -- i.e. he wants Windows to give him a Monitor 1 and a Monitor 2, so he can have different programs on both; not a clone of a single picture. Am I correct, Batman?

If this is the case, then my original answer stands. You cannot do straight output to a second monitor on that card. Get another video card for the best results. Actually, a second card will only run $30 or so, a bit cheaper than that cable.

Here's a good one.

Oh, BTW -- the above post was in reference to the second item pictured.

The first item is merely a DVI -> VGA adapter. It only works on one port. You don't need that so much as you do a second card.
