Monitor

[cgleckman]

So I have officially gotten my new computer purchased and all that good stuff, but what I didnt think to ask about is:

1. Can a single Nvidia GTX 275 handle multiple monitors
2. How do I go about using 2 or 3 monitors
3. Is there anything special I need to buy to run said 2 or 3 monitors.

Thanks for the input!

Your card can handle two monitors natively. To use a third monitor you wll need to add a second card (Not in SLI mode)
Support for a second monitor is enabled in the NVidia display manager.

How do I go about hooking up the 2nd monitor? I have only 1 blue port...

You should have a VGA Port and a DVI port. If you are connecting a second VGA style monitor you will need a DVI to VGA converter. One should have come with the card.
