Hello! I recently purchased my very own computer! I have set it up and everything is running great! I have two monitors, both use vga, but it only has one vga connection area, and one DVI connection. So I bought a DVI-A adapter so that I can use both. When I plugged the adapter in it would not detect both monitors. Just the one put into the Vga slot. I am not sure if this is because my graphics card is only capable of one monitor at a time or not. Please help me figure this out!

That GPU can run THREE monitors. It can run ONE VGA monitor just like most modern GPUs because VGA is rarely used and almost never used in multimonitor. It's a waste of money to support it since no one would use it.

The DVI connection is most likely DVI-D, but even If DVI-I there is only one analog clock. You can only run 2 with a displayport to VGA connector.

Its capable of more than 2 monitors actually, BUT for a dual monitor setup you can't run 2 VGA monitors, you need at least one digital(DVI, HDMI, Display port) monitor.

You can buy an expensive active converter, but you may as well buy a DVI monitor for a little more.

Any modern gaming card, sadly, that is true.

2 DVIs would work perfectly fine. Its about the signal output, not the connectors. 2 digital or 1 analog and one digital.
