Hey People,
I am wanting to run duel monitors as I mod twitch and play games at the same time. I can't do this with 1 monitor clearly, so i have 3 monitors sat in front of me.
I will be happy with just 2 monitors, 3 would be too much for me.
I am running a Radeon 7770 1GB i think... I have 1 in the normal VGA and i have a little DVI converter and i have the other in that but it doesn't know it’s there... I don’t have a HDMI cable but i can pick one up so i haven’t tried that yet, but if that’s the answer then so be it.
If there is anyone that can help me out (and put it in simple terms) I will be very grateful.
Yours,
David.

Well on my card (right to left) is the VGA- HDMI- and the DVI.
Also I have just looked at my monitors and the is no HDMI things on the back, so should i just get a VGA to HDMI converter kind of thing?
 
What do your monitors take? VGA and DVI? If so i would use those so you can use straight cables. You can convert DVI-HDMI or vice versa with a simple adapter cable since they carry the same signal. You cannot convert from VGA to anything else without an active converter since VGA only carries analog signal and it would need to be made digital for DVI/HDMI/DP.

Well the cables that come out my monitors (all 3) and VGA. I have a little VGA to DVI converting block thing (http://tinyurl.com/p53mocv) and I pop it in my graphics card, then pop in the VGA. Then I do a restart. So i have the normal VGA in and the DVI converter with the other monitor connect to that but yet I still only get 1 monitor.
(Sorry about my last reply didnt relise I had to do it this way)
