Hiya guys,
My Hdtv i've been using as my display has packed in this morning, so until it's replaced i'm going to use(or try to) two old monitors.
One has a max res of 1440*900, the other is 1280*1200 ( i think).
Is it possible to use these monitors with my setup in a extended display role? or any other way i can combine the two?

Thanks
davy
 
Remember that if you leave the cards in CrossFire you can only use the outputs from the first card so as long as it has the necessary connections they'll work fine.

You can use extended mode with displays of different resolutions.
 
Cheers for the info Surveyor :)
One last thing, current have one monitor plugged in thats the main one, which is dvi to dvi, but the second is vga, so i've used a dvi to vga adapter.
Only problem is i can't currently get a signal to it.
 
Swap the graphics card connection that the DVI to DVI monitor is using.

Only one of the DVI connectors provides an analogue signal so you need to be using that one with the DVI to VGA adapter and likely you have the DVI to DVI monitor plugged into it.
