JMarimon Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 Hey, I am actually looking at the market of monitors these days. I've gone from wanting various things, but I think I have decided that I want dual 24 inch. Yes, that is insane, but what the hell; I love big screens. That would be 3840x1200 resolution; damn that is a lot of screen space. Can you imagine? Anyhow, I got to thinking. Running those big monitors must take a decent amount of video power. I have an nVidia 7600GS graphics card with dual DVI ports. Should I be fine running two 24 inchers? Hopefully someone can help me out here. Here is a link to the graphics card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127210R
Shorty Posted September 28, 2007 Posted September 28, 2007 You'll be fine. Running a monitor, even running two monitors, doesn't actually take a lot of graphical capability. It's the software you're running that becomes demanding. As long as it has two ports for monitors you're away. The GS is just a somewhat downgraded GT right? I was running two monitors back on a Radeon All-In-Wonder 7500 about 6 years ago. PS. Have you used two monitors before? If not, make sure you check out the program Ultramon. It's the best for dual monitor setups. PPS. You lucky bastard! That's going to look awesome. PPPS. Nothing.
JMarimon Posted September 28, 2007 Author Posted September 28, 2007 PPS. You lucky bastard! That's going to look awesome. Oh fuck ya it will! I currently am running one 19 inch 4:3 on VGA. So, I would say it will be a bit of an improvement.
