Do all modern video cards have multi-monitor support?

I am considering either the 1024MB nVidia GeForce GT220 OR the ATI Radeon HD 5670 1GB GDDR5 on a new Dell and want to be able to run dual monitors. It is difficult to get a straight answer from Dell.



Thanks in advance.|||The nVidia GT220 supports dual monitors.



The ATI Radeon HD5670 has two different versions. The version with no DisplayPort supports two monitors only. The version with a DisplayPort supports THREE monitors (using ATI's Eyefinity technology). The third monitor must have a DisplayPort jack for triple-monitor to work though. Not sure which version of the HD5670 is available with your Dell, but you can ask them if it has a DisplayPort jack before you order.



Hope this helps.|||I have an MSI R4670-MD1G Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card. I have had no problems with it. plays all of my games at high - very high quality. so if you are looking to get a 5670.... go for it! I actually went from a GeForce to my Radeon and i couldn't be happier. And as far as multi-monitor support, i think most cards do. unless you get a really small cheap one.|||Probably because Dell has nothing to do with the video cards.



If you'd look at any pictures of the cards, as it seems you can't do that, you'd see that there are multiple outputs on the cards.|||I looked at each card, it looks like they both can but i would do more research.

try youtube as well, they sometimes have some good stuff|||Go with the ATI.

FYI the Computer has nothing to do with it.

Look up the card and check the specs.
