Post by: Royal Flush on May 01, 2009, 03:52:53 AM
Right buying a new PC wanna know if this will run both my monitors, one is a 30" beast that has some ridic resolution like 2500x1600 which needs to connect via DVI??? the other is a 20" connected by the usual blue cable (vga???)

Anyway will this video card do it or do i need another?

How many pixels is your 30" resolution?

(I think the card will be fine anyway)

Yeah no probs. Your Dell 30" needs DUAL link DVI not just DVI. But this card will have it. Also it will have 2 DVI ports and no VGA but should come with a DVI-VGA adapter (or 2).

That's not the real resolution though, which was why I asked.

I think the like gives him at least a 2.5% margin of error.

I assumed a 50% margin of  error.

He was 60 pixels out, thats like not even a scrollbars width. Anyhow, don't you have a marathon to run or something?
