9800 Pro Dual Monitor

I am thinking of picking up this card:

It has a DVI and VGA connection. Can it support dual monitors?

My Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro can do it so I dont see why not.

Ok cool. I was just double checking. The description did not say it.

I have the same card as the one listed in new egg and I can't set it to double mode... it's one or the other on mine.

Somethings not right then. The 9800 definately supports dual monitors.

You hook up a monitor to the DVI and VGA and can't get dual monitor? Just go to display properties setting. Click the display drop down menu. Select secondary monitor. Then check extend desktop onto this monitor. Then you can set you resolution and refresh rates for each monitor. Just select which one your adjusting from the drop down.

I think you need to have both monitors hookedup when you bootup Windows to get it to work too

I did mine without having both hooked up on boot up. If want to do any fancy multimon stuff. Then download hydravision from ATI.
