Can I have dual monitors?

Can my graphics card accept dual monitors?

  • I have an AMD Radeon™ HD 6450 Graphics Card and I have one monitor already hooked up to the VGA port on the graphics card. It seems there is an HDMI port on the video card as well that I can hook up to. Now can I have dual monitors if I hook another cable into the HDMI port? So there will be one monitor hooked up to the VGA port on the graphics card and another monitor hooked up the HDMI port on the graphics card. Will this allow for dual monitors or only duplicate picture? Here is the link to my graphics card: http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/amd-radeon-hd-6000/hd-6450/pages/amd-radeon-hd-6450-overview.aspx#1

    Yeppers! That card can do a lot more too. It will natively support 3 monitors and up to 4! If you only plan to run 2 monitors, I suggest using "digital" source like below: Option 1 - DVI (monitor 1) Display Port (monitor 2) <<<because the natively support same resolution Option 2 - DVI (monitor 1) HDMI (monitor 2) <<< stays at high res and all digital Option 3 - DVI (monitor 1) VGA (monitor 2) <<<still perfectly fine, just mixing digital and analog And download AMD's Catalyst Control Center to get the most out of your monitor setup. The "eyefinity" feature sounds really cool too, especially if you ever ramp up to 4 displays!! Wait! If you have a HDTV, you can use it for 3rd display...do it! do it! do it!

Look at the back of your PC where your monitor cable is plugged in. If you have two similar ports you can (although one might have square white connectors - ie DVI - and not VGA in which case you'll need a DVI->VGA adaptor if your second monitor isnt DVI). Or if you goto the settings tab in display properties you'll see two monitors there if you can have dual-display with your particular card.

Yep, your graphics card fully supports 2 or more monitors. Just need that VGA or HDMI cord and port in both your monitor and your graphics card. But I pretty sure you just need one of them.. Not both. I could be mistaken however.

Yes it can and it will allow either one.
