VGA and HDMI output simultaneously?

Closed

My graphics card has VGA and HDMI outputs. I just ordered an HDMI capable monitor and I was wondering if I'd be able to keep my VGA one as a secondary display?

It might be a card-to-card issue, but in general is this possible or advisable?

Yes, I run 2 displays too. One is via HDMI and the other is through VGA. I just extended my display for the smaller one.

Is it also possible to run 3 monitors on one graphics card (GTX 660 TI), one with DVI, one VGA and one HDMI?

yeah, as long as you have the outputs. FPS will drop like hell but it should work

Yup, I have a GTX 670 and I have three 1080p monitors hooked up; works fine for me without any notable decrease in performance.

I have 3 monitors and I can't have both DVI and VGA if I use HDMI as well.
I had to use a displayport so I have : 1 DVI, 1 DP, 1 HDMI.

At least that's this way on my 5850 HD.

This is usually gonna be possible. Graphics cards do have a maximum number of monitors it can support, but usually they're able to handle at least two or three if they have that many inputs.
