Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Hardware / May 2008Dual 1920x1200 monitors on single graphics card
hello - I would like to have two 24" monitors, each setup at 1920x1200 resolution, on a single PCI express 16x graphics card, running Aero across the 2 monitors Is there any graphics card out there that would support this scenario ? Can't find the answer in any of the graphics chips manafucturers' websites thanks S. important clarification: this is for productivity use, not for gaming - i don't need extreme performance - just want to have large excel spreadsheets open...

I have an AGP Radeon HD2600 that I am currently running two monitors at 1600 X 1200 off of two DVI cables (compared to my older Radeon 9600 that had one DVI and one VGA). I can run Dream Scene on both displays at the same time. I am not sure but I think this card is capable of running two 30 inch monitors both at 2560 X 1600. A half decent PCI express card should easily handle two 1920 X 1200 monitors. > hello - I would like to have two 24" monitors, each setup at 1920x1200 > resolution, on a single PCI express 16x graphics card, running Aero across [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > S. seb;729680 Wrote: > hello - I would like to have two 24" monitors, each setup at 1920x1200 > resolution, on a single PCI express 16x graphics card, running Aero [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > S. My friend is running dual 1680x1050 22" widescreen Flat screens off a Nvidia GT8800. With some software and a second CPU, he's also running two 1024x768 15" flat screens with control from the main CPU. For a total of 4 displays. Total viewing area is 5408x3636 or 74" of screen area. So I would think getting your sceens to run should be no problem. This setup is used for multiple tasks, gaming, chat, browsing and whatever else he can throw at it. Personally, I stopped at a single 22" widescreen flat panel display. Seems to be enough for what I do ;).

"Two integrated dual-link DVI display outputs Each supports 18-, 24-, and 30-bit digital displays at all resolutions up to 1920x1200 (single-link DVI) or 2560x1600 (dual-link DVI)1 Each includes a dual-link HDCP encoder with on-chip key storage for high resolution playback of protected content2 " I think that is clear enough. You can run two monitors at up to 2560x1600 if they have dual-link DVI inputs and your cable you use is also dual link. Otherwise supports 2 at 1920x1200 using the single-link DVI. > hello - I would like to have two 24" monitors, each setup at 1920x1200 > resolution, on a single PCI express 16x graphics card, running Aero across [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > S. |
