Video card?

I need a video card with S-Video output and VGA output, at least 256MB of memory,compatible with a Dell Dimension 2400 (200W max power supply, 2.4Ghz Pentium 4 processor, 1 free PCI slot and no other free slots) and have dual display capability. Any Ideas?|||I use an Nvidia GE Force 5500 and it works great.It works real well with games,and has dual displays.It's like having two computers in one.It has 256MB memory and is compatable with your Dell.You can get them at Wal-Mart.Good luck,God Bless.|||I don't think there are any cards that can fit that description. First of all, all 256 MB video cards I know of require PCI-E (express), and your mobo doesn't support it. Second of all, I'm not sure 200W is a good idea to run it with the rest of your system.



However, if it does have a PCI-E slot, I have a nVidia 8600 GTS factory OC'd by MSI. 256MB's of GDDR3, two DVI outputs, and one S-Video output. But the onboard fan is a bit large.

Which video cards have dual DVI and single HDMI connectors ?

I'm looking for a video card that has 2 DVI and 1 HDMI connectors without the need of an adapter. So far, the only cards I see that offer this option are the NVIDIA 9800 GX2 family. All others have a S-Video connector instead.



Does anyone know of other (hopefully cheaper) cards with built-in HDMI ? The reason I want all 3 connectors is that I already have a dual-monitor setup and I would like to occasionally switch-off one monitor and send the output to a TV through hdmi without disconnecting the monitor / connecting the hdmi adapter and TV / rebooting all the time.|||Only video card that I was able to find with your requirements, that was not as expensive was the ZOTAC ZT-96TES3D-FSP GeForce 9600 GT 512MB, $119.99 after $30 mail-in rebate.

Dual video cards and dual monitors?

I have dual nVidia 7800GTX video cards in an SLI arrangement. Each card has two monitor outputs. If I use dual monitors, which way would be recommended, to connect both monitors to one card or to put one on each? Would there be a significant performance difference between the two configurations?|||Each monitor on single card, as DirectX doesnt support secondary display directly. benefit is dual screen games with each have their DirectX engine running, hence no lags|||Woo!! fantastic PC



i think it wont matter....coz the output to the monitor IS 1(or is it??)|||Check with nVidia on this one, because the last I checked SLI doesn't support dual monitors.

Can I hook up a video output device (doc-cam, etc) to a computer and split it across 2 screens?

I'm trying to hook up the output image of a document camera (Elmo P10) across 2 screens (half of the image on the left screen; half on the right screen). I'm not quite sure how to do that. Is there a video capture card that will accept this output and then display it onto a dual-monitor system?|||It's up to your video card and driver. Check the documentation, else, you'll have to buy another video card, mine is an nVidia 6200 and does that.|||yes you can split the video into two screens provided it is supported by your video card, the type of software used.

Go through the manual. There is a PNY graphic card which will support this feature.|||just install right software and visit download.com.|||take two video out puts and plug one in each.|||To output the video to different displays your video card must have multi-display feature.check documentation or manufacturer's website for more info about your card.mine card is nvidia 6200 tc and it have nView technology which supports multi monitors.|||Yes, this is doable, if your graphics card allows for it. Do as the others suggest and check your documentation, or call the manufacturer. If it doesn't support this then you may want to consider purchasing a new card that does and exchanging it with the one you currently have. This is not a difficult task to do, but if you don't have the proper experiance feel free to call for help, like your local "geeks squad". These folks are easily found in the phone book or online.



Good luck in getting this setup properly in your system. It is a lot of fun!!

How can i set up dual monitors on my PC without two video inputs.?

I have been wanting to set up dual screens on my PC, but it doesn't have 2 video out puts, just one VGA output. Is there anything i can buy to make that i can get dual monitors without replacing the video card? Or is there something i can buy so that i can set them up? Would a VGA splitter work or would that just display the same image?|||VGA splitters can only display the same image. You will NEVER be able to drive two monitors independently using a VGA splitter.



Without replacing the graphics card, to drive two monitors independently using just one VGA port requires either an external USB video card or a Matrox DualHead2Go, neither of which is cheap and both suck badly in performance-- Slow and limited in resolution.



Your best option for driving two monitors remains upgrading the video card (assuming that your computer has a PCIExpress 16x slot to receive a better card).|||You can't split the VGA signal because I don't think you want identical output for both monitors. You want be able to transfer things from 1 monitor to the other. You either have to buy another identical video card or replace the video card you have with an upgraded videocard that has two ports.|||the only way is a new video card

Ok, so can i dual-monitor with a ati card and my ordinary monitor output?

Both VGA ports but one is on the ATI card with a DVI and S-video. And another is the one i used before i bought the ATI card. Its the stock vga port. only thing i notice is when i plug my second monitor in the ordinary port, my monitor says going to sleep for like 3 seconds and goes black again.|||Yes, its possible. in windows, right click your desktop and look for graphics properties or something like that. usually ATI cards come with utilities. if not, click properties.



look for dual screen or extended desktop. choose the one you want. dual screen would create the same output on both monitors, and extended desktop would treat both monitors as if they were one. your mouse would travel from one monitor to the other.



hope this helps.|||You might have to go into you properties on your desktop and tell Windows to extend desktop to this monitor.

How can you tell whether a video card supports dual monitors?

I have a computer with integrated graphics. I want to have a dual monitor setup, and I'm looking at purchasing the following video card (Sapphire Radeon HD 4670) and plugging both monitors into it:

This card is like many other cards that I've researched. This particular card has 3 output ports on the back: VGA, HDMI, and DVI. They can be seen in the product photos.



Is it possible to hook two monitors into this one card? Because it has 3 ports, is it possible to hook up 3 monitors to it?



My computer is such that if you add a separate graphics card, it disables the built-in integrated graphics. My first attempt to create a 2 monitor setup was to salvage an old graphics card and plug the 1st monitor into the integrated graphics port on the motherboard and plug the 2nd into the graphics card. Unfortunately, only the 2nd monitor worked, while the 1st was inactive.



I noticed lots of video cards on the market today have multiple output ports in the back. If a card, whether it's the one I'm considering above or any other one, has multiple output ports, does that mean that you can attach 2 or more monitors to it?|||it should support dual monitor but i bet its only through dvi and hdmi and not vga . i doubt it can handle three monitors though. its hard for me to give a good answer bc most cards have dual dvi outputs and they always support dual monitors
