Using nvidia 7300gt for dual monitors

External Since: Dec 15, 2007 Posts: 1

I've got the Nvidia 7300GT, and I'd like to run two monitors on it.
There is one VGA plug, and one DVI plug. But I can't seem to get it
to see both -- am I missing something, or does it only do one at a
time?

I don't know about your's specifically, but I have a couple of computers
with 6300 cards in them. Those cards only have the two plugs on the
back for convenience, so you don't have to use an adapter depending on
the type of monitor you are using.

On the 6300s that I have, both the plugs are actually connected to the
same part of the card. The DVI plug uses a ribbon cable to attach it
essentially to the back of the VGA plug.
