Dual Monitor question

Postby Aringbrl » Sat Oct 02, 2004 9:52 pm

Hi folks I'm new to the board and have a question.

I'm running a Geforce fx 5200 as I know some of you others are...And I'd like to run two monitors.

Thing is the card only has one port and an s-video port.
Now my box the fx 5200 came in says it supports multi monitors and it appears in my proporties. So if I purchase a video splitter will I be able to runn the duals?

Figure I'd ask here before I shell out the bucks for the splitter.

Thanks for the input and keep the posts comin!

If you get a splitter, you'll only have two monitors with exactly the same picture.  Your card must have two outputs on it to run two monitors. If you have a place where a second monitor will plug in, you can run it.  Use the search feature at the top of the page and you'll find more info about this...
