Will HD4670 1GB drive two 23" at total of 4096 x 2304?

I'm building an i7 system and want to drive two 23" monitors that have resolution of 2048 x 1152 each using a HD 4670 1gb card with dual dvi outputs.

When I set up the single desktop across both monitors, will I still have the 2048 x 1152 resolution on each display? In other words is the actual virtual desktop now 4096 x 2304? If so, do I need a card that will output 4096 x 2304?

I'm imagining that at 2048 x 1152 on a single monitor I probably can see almost a full page say for example in MS Word from top to bottom at 100% and much of a web page from top to bottom. So, when I add the second monitor, will that Word page still appear the same so that I can drag it over to the right monitor and open a full web page on the left monitor?

Thanks in advance.
 
Um, if you have two 2048x1152 monitors, your virtual resolution will be 4096x1152 (if they're side by side). You'd only have a 4096x2304 screen area if you had four of those monitors, and then only if you positioned them in a 2x2 grid.
 
You're right! Thanks. But still, will a 4670 output 4096 x 1152 even? I don't think it will. Can you tell I'm confused?
 
Why shouldn't it? It's got 2 outputs. And unless I'm missing some disclaimer about those new 2048x1152 monitors that say something about requiring special graphics cards (like the 3840×2400 ones), I don't see why a 4670, or even a lowly 4350 shouldn't work.
 
it should work. those 38 series cards were highed end gaming cards at one time, and now they are in the form of the 46 series. it has the power to push huge resolutions but it is limited by the bandwidth of the cable being used. if the monitors just use dvi without and special adapters present, you are a-ok.
