Hi all,

So, it seems like I am going to have to upgrade already.

MyPCBuild-001.jpg


So, all good, but it turns out the 4650 does not have support for 2 DVI's, so I have one monitor running at 1920x1080, and the other on vga at 1024x768.

Can I just whack in another 4650, and run it like that? Do I have to have cross-fire, and will those cards even support it? I am not looking for high-performance gaming, just want to run both monitors at 1920x1080.

thanks
 
I already have one 4650 - when I reviewed it, I was led to believe it supported 2 DVI's (see images, and reviews at the XFX site), but that turns out not to be true.

so I already have the one, and want to know if I can just get another for £45 or so, to get to where I want to be...

Thanks for the quick response, btw!!

Exactly what I thoguht, but no. the responses I've had from OC support staff inidcate that "It would appear, that they have been under the impression that you could've used a VGA > DVI converter, however I'm aware this degrades the quality of the video transmission and can somewhat be offputting, however with that graphics card it's the only way around it."

Basically, it only supports 1 DVI, and the photo isn't necessarily representative. The card I received only has 1 RED DVI connector, and then a black VGA connector, not the 2 DVI connectors
