Hi,
I just buyed a Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 4GB GDDR5 (PCI-Express 3.0, "OC Dual-X", DL-DVI-I + SL-DVI-D, HDMI, DisplayPort) and a new monitor to go dual monitors.

Old: MY old monitor Samsung 23,6" LED Syncmaster S24A300BZ 1920x1080, 5ms, VGA/DVI-D FullHD 1920 x 1080

New: My new Samsung 24" LED SyncMaster S24C350H 1920x1080, 5ms, 1000:1, VGA/HDMI

1. Which one should be my main gaming monitor?
2. What setup? Should old one connect with DVI-D and new one with HDMI instead vga.

Should i buy a normal HDMI cabel or a high speed on?

There's pretty much no difference between all the different HDMI cables (except length). Buy the cheapest.

Yes, connect via HDMI and DVI.

Probably your new one, but they look fairly equivalent.

Thanks for the answer.

I only play Diablo and is very GPU dependent. Thats why i buyed a 270x sapphire 4GB. from a 6850 (good fps but drop during heavy fights om max settings 1920x1080)


Phenom II X4 840/AM3 3.20GHz 2MB 95W

PSU/High Current Gamer HCG-620
Asrock K10N78D nF720D/ATX
Raptor 150 gb 10000 rpm MAIN

4x1gb Kingston ddr2 ram 800 i just upgrade to 8 GB 2x4GB.

I do not have much money so i just replaced the GPU new one should be more then twice as fast i read.

I was wondering if you could give som tips on the setup of dual monitors configuation i read how to do it. But how high resolutions and settings should i make it? with consideration to my weak CPU.
