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:



http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=AT-4670HDM#



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

Dual Video Output, each of both showing different software?

I need a setup whereby I have two monitors showing two different software simultaneously. Specifically, I need to work on a program (POS or Word or Excel), while the other video shows a powerpoint slideshow (or media program of some sort). These two software totally independent of each other. Any suggestions? Via a special VGA card and sw?|||you need a video card with dual outputs, then go into your desktop settings and click to extend the desktop to the second monitor, then when you open a program you can drag it to the other monitor, essentially running a program on each monitor. thats what i do for my web design work. i have my dreamweaver open on one screen and the page open in ie on the other monitor so i can check my progress.



if you dont want to buy a dual head video card, you can get something from http://www.matrox.com/graphics/en/corpo/… that will work

Is it possible to hook up a regular lcd and a touchscreen on one dual output video card?

As long as your computer has the programs and drivers that allow for a touch screen to be used on your computer, there should be no problems. The video card might not support a touch screen if it is to old or something like that, but that isn't really a problem of dual monitors, but rather just not support one of them.



I say go for it!

http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/562…|||Did you ask whether this is brand new, or secondhand? Some devices are raped over 9000, and this might have a hand on the low price of the gizmo. Another thing is that it might have some problems with its structure, or it offers a totally different product from what is specified.

What does "overclocked" mean when talking about video cards?

I have been shopping for a video card for my Dell 531s slim Desktop so I can run dual monitors. I am not a gamer. I keep seeing the term "overclocked"...what does this mean? In layman's terms please.

Also, if you know, what video card would you recommend for me to buy so I can run dual monitors just for general web browsing? My motherboard only has one monitor output so I need one more which I suppose means I need to buy a video card. thanks|||You know how processor speeds are measured in Ghz? That's the "clock speed" of the processor.



Like right now, my computer is running on a 3 Ghz processor.



Basically, overclocking is making the something run at a higher "clock speed" than it's supposed to. I could set my computer to run at 3.15 Ghz if I wanted to and see some slight performance increase.



A video card is the same thing, it's also a processor. Overclocking it is basically making it run at a faster speed than it was originally designed for, so that it gets better performance.



That's all there it to it really.



Perhaps another thing I should mention. The only drawback to doing this is that it produces more heat. But an overclocked video card will usually come equipped with a bigger fan to compensate for it.|||Overlocking means running a graphics card, processor or RAM at higher frequency than intended. This almost always void warrantry's and for large overclocks you need a special cooler to stop it from overheating (its dangerous if you do not know what you are doing).



For example if I have a core i7 920 processor, which runs at 2.66GHz normally, and I overclock it to 2.8 GHz, i did an overclock of 140 MHz. The processor will now run faster so calculate data faster, but also produce more heat.



The same can be done with graphics cards but these are more risky (coolers are usually very bad). You can overclock the Memory speed (sort of RAM for the video card), the core speed (like the processor in the video card) and the shader speed.



Hope i helped!|||In layman's terms overclocking means increasing the speed of the device. When you see overclocked graphics cards for sale, that just means the manufacturer decided to do that. So your warranty will not be void because of this.



Usually graphics cards with dual output will allow you to use multiple monitors.

How do I foce my computer to keep dual-monitor output ON at all times?

I have a (very new and shiny) PC with a very (also new and shiny) high-end

video card (nVidia, dual DVI-out). I have one plug going to a 43'' plasma TV

that is basically a digital billboard in a hallway for an organization.



The other DVI-out on the video card was plugged into a really crappy 13''

monitor (set as the primary display).



When we were done getting it all set, I stuck the computer under a desk and

decided I could just use VNC or something if I needed to interact with it's

desktop.



But when I unplug the 13'' POS monitor, after the next reboot it is disabled

as a monitor, it's re-adjusted the TV as the primary and only monitor, and my

taskbar/desktop/etc are showing around the digital signage that I want it to

show.



I can adjust the resolution to make it look just fine in single monitor

mode, but then everyone looking at the sign sees my desktop as I'm making

changes to it or controlling it via VNC remote desktop link. And that's no

bueno.|||You will have to keep a monitor plugged into the computer. There is no way that I am aware of to force the computer to keep dual monitor output on at all times.

Can I connect one CRT monitor, one LCD monitor, and one LCD TV to one video card?

I have a fairly old Dell 15" and a new Samsung 19" currently connected to my computer. They both work fine together, as my Nvidia 6600 GT has dual output. Now, I want to add my 40" Haier TV (which has a VGA port) as a third screen.



Normally, I wouldn't think this possible with one video card, but I have a splitter that converts my DVI port on my PC into a DVI and VGA port. With 2 VGA ports and one DVI port (this is after using the splitter, of course) is it possible to connect three monitors to one video card?



I've already tried simply plugging in and restarting the computer, but that doesn't seem to work. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!|||It *seems* as if it should work. Both screens hooked up to the splitter should (will) show the same thing, of course.



The problem may be that most monitors today are plug-and-play. *That* means that your video board can detect what type of monitor is plugged into it. With two monitors plugged into one video socket, Windows probably gets pretty confused.



Another possibility is that you cannot connect a DVI *and* vga to the same video card connector at the same time. I know DVI analog is *compatible* with DB-15, but maybe DVI-analog uses lines in the graphics card that DB-15 does not and your graphics card is getting confused.



Perhaps you can force the issue by removing device drivers for those two "united" monitors and installing the "default monitor" driver instead. You should be able to get standard resolutions and maybe keep the OS from trying to find out what type of monitor is connected. This should solve the Plug-n-Play problem, but not the 2nd problem (if it is one).



Of course, you can always get another nVidia board - now you can support 4 monitors with 2 boards, and 7300LEs are *cheap*. :) Then you can get a different view on every screen instead of just two.



I hope this helps.

Sometimes no video card output, strage problem! Help needed!?

Hi guys,



I have a strange problem (I have actually registered hete to post it): My NVidia 250 GTS is sometimes not recognised by my computer.

I've tried:

- Cleaning, replugging cables, checking everything...

- checking my screen + cable. Nothing wrong.

- videocard in another computer, 3 day boot sequence and benchmarks, all green light.

- another PSU, not the problem.

- updating BIOS, not the problem.

- reinstalling + updating drivers.



Right now I'm on my onboard graphics card, which always works when my videocard doesnt. Once in a while, my videocard gives output, and I haven't been able to spot any pattern when it's doing so...



My rig:

Intel Quad core Q6600, 4 GB RAM

NVidia GeForce 250 GTS, 256 MB

Pc to tv can I use seperate vga output from graphics card?

My pc has a GeForce 6200le it appears to have a s-video output, but my pc also has another vga separate to the Geforce card, can I use the other vga to connect to vga on tv for dual monitor?|||According to the specs your card has VGA SVIDEO and DVI output.

So it depends on the inputs on your tv as to which one is best to use

Can I hook up two monitors to a Y-splitter using only one video card output(DVI or VGA) for a dual mon. combo?

I don't think you can do that with just a splitter since the video card will only output the same data signal to both monitors. So in best case you will receive the same image on both monitors.



If you really want to have dual monitor configuration with 1 output video card then you can opt for devices like Matrox DualHead2Go. But these devices cost quite a bit so it may be cheaper just to get a new video card with 2 outputs.

Thanks|||Yes, depending on what type of graphics card you have, there will be an option to enable the S-Video.



Also, take note that most graphics cards can only output 2 at a time. So enabling the S-Video, you'll need to disable the VGA or DVI.
