Re: Graphics card for twin TFTs



Thanks to all for suggestions.

Can anyone help me understand:

- Will any card that supports 1900x1200 automatically support lesser sizes (like 1680 x 1050)? Some manufacturer websites list perhaps a dozen specific resolutions supported, others mention maximum resolution only.

- Will any card that specifies that it will support two monitors work properly with a simple DVI splitter cable? Most of the cards seem to have one DVI and one 15-pin VGA - and it seems daft to degrade to analogue for a second DVI display.

- How do I check which cards will support two screens at different resolutions? - I've read some cards described as only supporting two screens if they run at the same resolution.
