1330966	2013-03-02 08:03:00	Hey all! I have the following GPU: www.leadtek.com And am willing to add a second HD monitor, I saw that the card supports multiple monitors but how do I do it? And will I be able to drag windows between monitors etc? This website has been such a help to so I would also like to thank those who spend their time to help others out :)	Nikit07 (16761)
1330967	2013-03-02 09:04:00	On the card it has two DVI outputs, simply plug the 2nd monitor into the 2nd DVI port, press the windows key and P at the same and select "extend" from the menu and the new screen should spring to life :) From there you can use the normal display/resolution settings page to correctly set the resolution etc. It's best to get a screen at least the same aspect ratio as your 1st one (eg don't use a 4:3 with your widescreen monitor) since the edges wont line up. No biggie but it can be a bit awkward moving between the two. You'll certainly be able to drag windows around, use aero snap etc etc. In extended mode the 2nd screen pretty much operates exactly like a normal screen.	The Error Guy (14052)

1330969	2013-03-02 09:45:00	Also there was some weird bug with nvidia and dual screens of different resolutions where it loaded up the GPU a bit all the time, dunno if it's been fixed but the recommendationed used to be stick to the same res.	dugimodo (138)
1330970	2013-03-02 20:11:00	Ok thanks guys! Does the port support full HD though? I heard somewhere that it dosn't.	Nikit07 (16761)
1330971	2013-03-02 20:38:00	Also, what's the difference between DVI-I and DVI-D? Which one will I need?	Nikit07 (16761)

I have one square tradidtional shape monitor and one widescreen monitor hooked up on my card and use aero snap and all the usual stuff I don't notice any edges not lining up, I find my set up works well as one monitor is better for viewing things than the other and vice versa depending on what I'm doing. I originally had my set up so I could have tutorials open on one screen and the CAD program I was learning on the other	gary67 (56)
1330973	2013-03-02 20:59:00	Also, what's the difference between DVI-I and DVI-D? Which one will I need? DVI-I can output VGA signals over the DVI port (the I means analog and digital), while DVI-D can't. For an LCD monitor, the difference doesn't matter.	pcuser42 (130)
