Please help me find a graphics card!!

iamgary25 · Dec 29, 2013

I currently run windows 7 and I have 2 19inch monitors one off VGA and the other off DVI with a VGA adabtor, which works fine... But I want to add a third monitor (40in TV) which I can do at the moment with a HDMI cable off the same graphics card I use now, but it only ever let me use two screens at a time, is this a new graphics card job or can something be done? By the way my computer uses a low profile graphics card that takes up 2 slots... If that's make sense, I know little about computers

hope someone can help me

Can you tell me your graphic card name, you can download gpu z an see it yourself, some cards can go to 2 monitors max and others even 5 or 6.

Radeon HD 5450 VTX 3D
I have an install CD with it but when I put the graphics card in the computer it just worked so I have never used the CD...

So you have never used the drivers try downloading the latest one and try with it now, with that card you should plug 3 monitors but as it doesn´t has the displayport you can´t use eyefinity. check this tutorial.

So you tried with the adapter and nothing? then you´re going to need another gpu for that.

This will do but no gaming on it of course.

Ok, so now I'm confused, I haven't tried the adaptor as I have displayport output to use this adaptor or have I got this wrong, could you send me a link of one I could use please? Also I don't do much gaming just play a bit of simcity, but not to bothered about graphics, more the screens I want, duplicate my 40in TV off my main monitor, and a second monitor to work with. Thank you for your help though, and happy new year

One of this so you can use your displayport slot with an hdmi or dvi port, that and using the others port grant you 3 monitor setup.

The funny thing is that I didn´t see that your gpu has a displayport slot and thx you too.

But I don't have a display port slot, I have HDMI, VGA and DVI, this is why I can't use one, do you think a new graphics card is the answer lol
