Help on maximum combined screen resolutions

Hobgoblin11 · 11-24-2008, 06:01 AM

I'm considering buying a larger monitor to use in a dual monitor configuration. At the moment I am running two screens of different sizes, one at 1280x1024, the other at 1024x768, with an eVGA nVidea 8800 GTS 640MB graphics card, with a maximum resolution output of 2560x1600.

If I were to keep the larger monitor in my current setup (1280x1024), what is the largest second monitor I could use that would be supported by this card?
Thanks a lot!

that's the max resolution per display. You can run UP TO 2 displays at that resolution.

Ah OK. I can run two display seperately at 2560x1600

Awesome! Thanks for your help.
