Would this graphics card run 2 monitors?

GeorgeUnderdown · Apr 26, 2014

I'm a bit of a noob and wondering if this graphics card Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X 2GB WINDFORCE Video Card
would run 2 monitors and if it would be with 1 vga port and 1 dvi or what? :/

Yes it can and that is one option, you should be able to run any two connectors of the card and three if it has display port.

yes you will be able to run up to 4 monitors with this card either through 2 dvi ports or HDMI and DVI.

You can actually go to the website for these cards and get the manual. I believe that card runs up to THREE monitors but I don't know the combination. Likely:
a) 2xDVI + HDMI, or
b) 2xDVI + Displayport, or
c) 1xDVI + VGA (adapter) + HDMI, or
d) 1xDVI + VGA (adapter) + Displayport...

I wouldn't pay extra for a 3GB GTX660 either. Probably better to get something more like a GTX770 with 2GB depending on the cost. Most GTX660's are 2GB but they have more expensive 3GB versions that don't benefit.

Here's a BENCHMARK so you can look at performance, and four cards at different price points:
http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/R9_270X_Gaming/24.html

R9-270X 2GB: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-r9270xdc2t2gd5

GTX760 2GB: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-gtx760dc2oc2gd5

R9-280X 3GB: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/sapphire-video-card-112210240g

GTX770 2GB: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-gtx770dc2oc2gd5

As the price goes up, so does performance. There are other differences:

AMD->Mantle (a few upcoming games support it)

NVidia-> PhysX, Shadowplay, Gamestream, G-Sync (new monitor)

*A lot of people are interested in recording/streaming gameplay so are interested in Shadowplay.

All answered above! Second if you are going with GTX660 get a 2GB the 3GB is not worth the mare price.
