Default Dual monitors: minimum requirements
Hi all,
I'm about to add a 24'' monitor to my current 19'' setup.
Will my Radeon X1300 Pro suffice to drive both?

Please note that I have no interest in gaming, so 3D performance isn't an issue. All I'm looking for is good 2D performance and full Vista/Win7 support.

regards
Ze

Well,
I have a HD3870 and with 24inch and 19inch for gaming. It all runs fine and i am using windows xp. However, a friend has a 7600GS with windows 7 and it does not do well. Your video card is slower than the 7600GS and you want 2 monitors... unless you run things at pretty low settings you would not like it. I would recomend buying a new video card. Visit gpureview.com to help you decide.

ok, so I should have to go for a better card (although I don't game). But since I have another monitor lying around I thought of keeping the X1300Pro, adding say a HD4650 and drive 3 monitors. Will this sort of card mixing work?
