Which video Adapter supports dual display in Vista?

Which video adpater, single card, support dual display in Vista? Prefer low
cost cards.

For office use in 4 buildings, around 200 systems.
Not for game. No need for fancy graphics.

Re: Which video Adapter supports dual display in Vista?

Any nVidia or ATi card that has dual ports should work. As long as there
are drivers out there for Vista for that card it will work. I run a nVidia
6800 with Dual Monitors setup easily.

We have Nvidia GeForce FX5500 in most of these systems already.
But when we add another ATI Radeon X1050 adapter, Vista do not allow dual
monitor display.

Please specifically tell me which adpater has dual ports for dual display
that work with Vista?

Re-read Alex's post!
He answered your question!

Doing your research for you is not part of this newsgroup's work.
We ar all users like you; and try and help each other.

You have to go to ATI or Nvidia site and find what you want.

second display but I have not used it.

RE: Which video Adapter supports dual display in Vista?

Hi Andrea,

I cannot vouch for ATI, but the Nvidia range from the GeForce FX series
onwards supports Vista with dual monitor support on cards from the GeForce 6
range upwards. You can install more than one video card in your PC if your
motherboard supports this, but best results will come if you use identical
boards from the same manufacturer. Problems can arise when using different
cards, more so when one of the cards is based on the Nvidia GPU and the other
on the ATI GPU. This is because the different graphics drivers can conflict
with each other. In short, you should be able to use cards from both
manufacturers so long as you don't mix and match them.
