How to Setup Dual Monitors With an EVGA GTX 660 Ti

[SnoweyBallz]

Hello, I am thinking about starting to stream, and I am wondering on how to setup two monitors on a GTX 660 Ti EVGA SCE. I have my first monitor connected via HDMI, my other monitor only has a VGA, and an HDMI. My graphics card has an HDMI output, DVI-I, and a DVI-D output. Is there a way to even have a dual monitor setup without getting a monitor with a DVI input? Is there a way to get a DVI, and HDMI dual monitor setup?

Thanks for your help!

I have a DVI to VGA cable, will that work? I tried it a few times and it never did. Am I just setting it up wrong?

You are probably setting it up wrong.
Some monitors will auto detect the connection, others need you to select the input as vga.
That could possibly be your problem.
Since hdmi and dvi is a digital connection, not analog, you might get better quality output if you use a dvi to hdmi cable instead.

Well I'm not sure what is going on. I have it connected to my graphics card, and to my monitor, I have my monitor selected to VGA, and nothing shows up....

Try swapping monitors and connectors around.
Sometimes a cable is faulty.

Okay, so now Windows, and Nvidia control panel is showing that BOTH of my monitors are connected, however nothing is showing up on my second monitor.
