Can't find the answer in any of the graphics chips manafucturers' websites thanks S. |

| | Re: Dual 1920x1200 monitors on single graphics card I have an AGP Radeon HD2600 that I am currently running two monitors at 1600 X 1200 off of two DVI cables (compared to my older Radeon 9600 that had one DVI and one VGA). I can run Dream Scene on both displays at the same time. I am not sure but I think this card is capable of running two 30 inch monitors both at 2560 X 1600. A half decent PCI express card should easily handle two 1920 X 1200 monitors.

| | Re: Dual 1920x1200 monitors on single graphics card thank you for your response - but you're precisely raising my question: most advanced graphics cards have resolutions of 2560x1600 max - the resolution i would get with 2 screens is 3840x1200 when graphics cards manufacturers talk about max resolution: is it across the 2 screens or is it per screen ? will i have aeroglass working if i have 2 screens at 1920x1200 ? many thanks & sorry if it's a dumb question - i want to make sure it works before i invest in two 24" screens...

| | Re: Dual 1920x1200 monitors on single graphics card Here is a 'mainstream' video card example, in this case a HD2600 series. "Two integrated dual-link DVI display outputs Each supports 18-, 24-, and 30-bit digital displays at all resolutions up to 1920x1200 (single-link DVI) or 2560x1600 (dual-link DVI)1 Each includes a dual-link HDCP encoder with on-chip key storage for high resolution playback of protected content2 " I think that is clear enough. You can run two monitors at up to 2560x1600 if they have dual-link DVI inputs and your cable you use is also dual link. Otherwise supports 2 at 1920x1200 using the single-link DVI.
