XPS 8900 two monitors, one video card

If you look at the back of the XPS 8900, there are 2 connections monitor (DP and HDMI) on the motherboard.  It would be the 530 Intel GPU that comes with it.  Then my system also came with a 730 GT PCIe card.  Currently, I have two monitors working using the RFP on the motherboard and on the GT 730 DVI port.

I wonder if this supported dual monitors, but only on internal Intel 530 map with two connections hanging there?

I got an HDMI cable to DP I've tried, but windows has never found the 2nd monitor.  So, I don't know if 2 monitors on the Intel 530 card are not supported (I'm sure that Intel is in favour, but not sure that Dell has allowed this) or my cable is interrupted.

OK, with a DP to DP cable and a HDMI to DVI cable, I can only use the Intel 530 card on board.  So it turns out that I had the wrong front cable (HDMI / DP is not a valid path).

  • XPS 8900 GTX 960 update graphics card

    Hello

    I have a XPS8900 with a GTX 960 2 gb card. I would like to replace with a better card. I have seen in some forums that a 1060 GTX is a good option. If this is the case, could someone let me know wich specific GTX1060 buy? and if the power supply will support it? (or probably I need a PSU update?)

    Any suggestion for map of othe who might fit better?

    Thank you

    One of the years 1060 GTX will work and the OEM PSU will work.

    Many maps have a single power connector 8 pins, so if the card does not come with one, two, six pine to single 8 reverse Y connector that you will need to purchase a.

    I had excellent results of the series of games of MSI, and here's a review where tech powerup gave the card a 9.8 out of 10 which is pretty good. I am surprised that they have not listened more than 1060 cards.

    I can't post links without obtaining of the moderate position, so replace with a POINT.

    www DOT techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_1060_Gaming_X/

    1060 MSI Dimensions are the same as the MSI GTX 970, that we in a 8700 and it fits well. Tighten, but very good.

    And to see who has what available, here is a decent site that seems to have enough current prices listed.

  • Do I need a dedicated video card to run a Setup dual monitor with HP 700-327c?

    Recently replaced an old HP Desktop with the envy of 700 running Windows 7 Professional.

    Old facility had a Setup to dual monitor with a video card that had two monitors - one HDMI and a DVI connectors.  The standard connectors on the old PC were VGA and DVI, but both have been capped to prevent use.

    I wanted to set up monitors on this new PC to do the same thing and wanted to know if a video card with the two input connectors dedicated was the best set-up or simply use a mute adapter for VGA or DVI on the new PC ports.  The new PC has two video connectors standard - one VGA and one DVI currently.

    FYI: Using an Intel i7-4770 with 16 GB of RAM and a video card using an Intel HD Graphics 4600.

    An update as promised - not a problem - used another cord with the right connector and setting up monitors using Windows device settings and they work perfectly.  No need for a separate or higher video card as I am not in the game application for video features.  Thanks BH.

  • Need a graphics card to connect two monitors.

    Is AMD CrossfireX and Nvidia SLI is the only way to connect two VGA?

    Original title: graphics card...

    It is not no need SLI or XFire to connect two monitors. SLI and XFire are mainly to
    improve performance by connecting the two cards together.
    SLI, to have the same model of card when you use Nvidia IE - two GTX560ti, but apparently, you can use different templates with XFire as long as they use the same gpu (it's because they sometimes "re-brand" a gpu a series on a new map in the following series).

    You can connect two monitors to a card and run games on two monitors, but the seam in the
    Middle is a problem, so it is really best to go three monitors or a larger screen.
    You can also run a game on one monitor and have something to open on the other.
    This can also be done with two cards of different model that are not related (Nvidia or ATI).
    or your integrated graphics, if you and a single graphics card.
    You can also use both outputs of an integrated graphics card to perform the duties of Office Basic
    two monitors.

    To use a combination of graphics card integrated on my machine, I have to set the graphic option and dedicated North Bridge in the BIOS to "Onboard" or the integrated graphics card will not work.
    Also, when you use a single monitor I have to choose one or the other in the BIOS as only won't work
    at the same time when you use a single monitor.  It may be different on your system.

    There are different ways to use two monitors and the Setup is different between Nvidia and ATI.
    I've only played with Nvidia, ATI and Intel HD4000 options, so cannot really elaborate on
    the installation options.
    It is probably better to play with the settings of your cards some time control panel to
    get an idea of what is what and try again forum of the mfg graphics card for more details.

  • Two monitors S20

  • Two monitors does not

    I've set up two monitors on my laptop.  I went to the settings and changed its expansion just as they said in the help section.  It is said that I should now be able to drag a window to the other monitor.  BUT, everytime I try, it puts just this window on that side of my screen.  It goes to the other monitor.  My other monitor is just my wallpaper showing and nothing else.  How can I change this?

    Hello

    These should contribute. You can set the monitors to work as a single office (can drag and drop across
    also the programs cannot be fullscreen - reduce the size) or they can be set to work as
    two separate monitors where you open the programs you want on each.

    ==================================

    You may need to update your display and video driver

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
    each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
    version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
    video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
    cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
    own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
    (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
    updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
    because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
    pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver in the Windows updates,
    This leaves ONE of Windows updates, but it will not install the drivers who are generally older and cause
    questions. If updates offers a new driver and then hide it (right click on it) and then go look for new ones
    manually if you wish.

  • Problem upgrading the h8-1409 HP Envy video card problem

    Hello.

    I just bought this machine and it has a good processor and ram good, but it comes with a card missing video (HD7570).  I want to upgrade the video card at one of the best maps I have of my old machines (Gigabyte GTX 660 ti and an Evga GTS 250).  When I install one of these cards but, I get no video output.  I can hear the initialization of the system and the hard drive works, so everything seems fine here.

    This machine comes with a 460W power supply, which should be enough to run one of these cards, but no go.  In order to exclude food, I tried on a secondary market, OCZ 600W PSU, but got the same result.  Two cards work in my old machine, so I know that the cards are good.

    The specifications of the main Board are here:

    http://h20000.www2.HP.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/document.jsp?objectID=c03132942

    As far as I know, it should work.  Is there something I'm missing?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Only use one video card in your PC and make sure that it is installed in the PCI-E x 16 slot.

    Boot in the bios (ESC and F10) and go to security topics. Try each of the topics and search a secure Boot Configuration.  If it exists, then see if Secure Boot is disabled.  A poster said that secure boot disabling enabled the installed video card. I have not tried this on a HP active UEFI motherboard but I know that it isn't a problem with another mother UEFI card that I use.  Your mileage may vary.

  • Video card GeForce GTX645 and two monitors Dell

    Just place an order for a Dell XPS PC 8700 with a GeForce GTX645 video card. I'm trying to figure out how I'll be able to connect my two Dell monitors to the video card. My monitors are a Dell 2407WFP-HC 24 '' and a Dell IN2020M 20 ". I'm fairly certain that the 24 "monitor has a DVI - D connector, and I think (but I'm not sure) the 20" monitor also has DVI - D.

    It appears by looking at the specs for the GeForce GTX645 there a port DVI - D and DVI - I port. If this is the case, how can I connect two monitors using DVI - D video card?

    -Larry

    Yo is not an adapter to hook up 2 monitor DVI - D DVI - I and DVI - D + HDMI + [...] video card.

    DVI - I mean it is a compatible port DVI - D AND you could plug an adapter DVI / VGA for use an old monitor (VGA d - Sub 15 pin)

    DVI - I simply means that the DVI connector has some extra pins (on the right, under the direction, my mistake) with the data (if necessary)

    I have a HP Pavilion p6-2360eo with the video card Radeon 7450 connected to a monitor of 23xi Pavilion.

    Now, I want to add a monitor of 23xi more, but I do not understand how to connect the cables to the video card to get two logical screen (different views on each monitor)

    Supposedly this monitor can connect to the video card, you have the HDMI connection.  Assuming that the first monitor is connected via DVI, then try a HDMI cable to the second.  I got this from the description of the video card on THIS page.

    Support up to two displays at the same time in these configurations: DVI, HDMI and VGA + HDMI (using the included adapter cable)

  • What video card can be added to the s330f to support two monitors?

    I want to add a second monitor to my HP Pavilion s330f.  I think I'll have to add a video card that supports two monitors.  Since this is a slimline box, size is a matter in addition to compatibility.  What cards can be used?

    I was unable to locate a "s330f" on HP support site. Please provide the number of name and/or product of full model specific aid. Assuming you have a HP Pavilion Slimline s3300f desktop PC, the power plant is only rated at 160 watts and there is no PCIe cards x 16 graphics in your computer's power market will be based.

    Depending on what you plan on using two monitors, because there may be an alternative to a new power supply and graphics card.

    (1) Day trading, word documents, spreadsheets and other... buy an adapter USB-to-video as the EVGA UV plus + UV19 or UV39.

    (2) game... not recommended

    (3) source a bigger power supply and the new graphics card for HP

    (4) source of a greater power of athenapower.com and a graphics card 'low - profile' from another source.
