I just bought a new R9 270x and I have my ASUS monitor hooked up as a main monitor via DVI and an older Dell monitor hooked up via a VGA to DVI adapter but can't seem to get it to detect the second monitor. Any ideas on what I should do?
the R9 270x supports dual monitors right?
 
Solution
Yes the R9 270x supports dual monitors and more. I would try switching the DVI ports you are using. Your old VGA monitor is an old analog display and newer GPU's are doing away with Analog outputs the R9 270X series in particular only has one DVI port that supports Analog output (one is DVI-D the other is DVI-I (both)).
