XFX 5670 Dual Monitors

[MarcosFabian]

Hey guys,
I need help trying to figure out if the XFX 5670 can support dual monitors.
I want to get this card,
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150504&cm_re=5670-_-14-150-504-_-Product

I was thinking of using this set up.
HDMI to DVI (for newer monitor)
and
DVI to VGA (for older monitor)

Will work for this card?

Yep =)

Yeah it will handle two monitors just fine, that adapter setup will work fine as well.

Really man?
I found these adapters on Newegg as well.
HDMI - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812270288&cm_re=hdmi_to_dvi-_-12-270-288-_-Product

DVI - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812267001&cm_re=dvi_vga-_-12-267-001-_-Product

They seem kinda pricey compared the ones on ebay.
Thanks for the replies guys, it helps out a lot.

Rather than buying a DVI-VGA adapter, do you have any friends who have bought a new graphics card in a while? Most of them used to come with one, the newer ones dont seem to but i have 3 of those things in my apartment and nothing to do with them.


As for the HDMI to DVI adapter, it really doesnt matter about its quality, get the cheapest one you can find, it would be incredibly difficult for one of those to be bad.

None of my friends have graphic cards.

So that just leaves me on buying one,
Although that is a great idea.

I would buy it on eBay, but eBay's concept is just weird to me.
You know, the bidding and stuff.
Am mostly just new to it all..

Look for "Buy it now" options, especially for small stuff like that its not worth wasting your time bidding. Also check amazon and see if they carry any for super cheap.

Yeah and I heard about "buy it now option"
And I forgot to check out Amazon.
And am not sure because I rather have everything ready in the same day.
Twice the excitement !

if you want... you can even go to three monitors! just hook up your third monitor to that last dp port and your all set
