Duel Monitors

[13CentKiller]

Recently I have been thinking about buying two new monitors. Fairly big ones, as in two 24 inch LCD monitors.

I have tried duel monitors before with lesser video cards than I have now, and I am worried about resolution. Before, I could not get max resolution on both monitors. One would be 1440x900 (DVI port) and the other 800x600 (VGA port). This was when I had an Nvidia 8400GS.

I have an ATI Sapphire Radion 4670 1GB GDDR3 video card. So far as I can see, 1920x1080 is the max resolution of a 24 inch monitor. The golden question is...Would my video card with two DVI outputs be capable of putting out 1920x1080, twice over and still be able to use it effectively enough to work in 3D applications such as 3DS max/Maya/Freelancer/Flight Simulator...etc...etc...

Are there any "Duel Monitor" gurus in the community with two 24 inch monitors with lesser cards? Or more experience than me with duel monitors?

Cheers guys! :cool:

On the other computer I have a dual monitor setup.

However, that was done for me by my protege. (I will ask him what you mean, since I cannot understand any of it.:D)

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

Thanks!

I just need to know, if my video card (ATI Sapphire Radion 4670 1GB) is powerful enough to support two 24 inch monitors at the max resolution of 1920 x 1080.

I don't want to buy two monitors and have Windows tell me I can only have maximum resolution on one monitor and have to deal with half or quarter what it should be on the second monitor. That would suck.

I think it will easily support That resolution on both as long as you display any GPU intensive things on both of them

You'll be just fine.

You'll be just fine.

Thanks!

But might I ask...What are you basing that on? GPU? Memory? Clock speed? Another specification I may have missed? :cool:

GPUs have max resolution they can support. Memory and clock speed have nothing to do with maximum output resolution. Yes, it is a specification parameter, but rarely mentioned.

Your GPU supports resolution up to 3840x2400.

Your GPU supports resolution up to 3840x2400.

Sweet!

Thankyou for the help!:cool:

The most obvious place is to look for the graphic card makers pages.

Usually the contemporary cards can support 2 monitors of max resolution specified in the card. The ones with one "main" and one "secondary" monitor resolution are things of the past and only for those real cheap cards.

Flying under radar.

Don't forget that the monitors themselves have their own max resolutions. If you are using 2 monitors with the same model number then it shouldn't be that hard to make them both have the max resolution... limited then by only your video card (3840 x 2400). Then again... I haven't seen a monitor of affordable stature with even half that resolution.

So in short... monitors have their own max resolution and refresh rate (MHz).
