Video Card Questions

[Xenogear900]

I wasnt exactly sure where I was supposed to post this question but I decided to post it here. I have a GeForce FX 5200. It has a VGA Port, an S-Video Port, and a DVI Port.
Question 1: Can I use the VGA and the DVI port (at the same time with 2 monitors) and display the PC on both monitors simultaneously? i.e. Dual Monitor Support!

Question 2: If the answer to question 1 was YES, this is a follow up question. Can I display one refresh rate on one monitor and a different one on the other? Ex: 75hz on the DVI and 85hz on the VGA (if thats what I wanted to do) See what I mean...
Lemme know Thanx

Yes.

Yes to both. The 5200 supports dual monitors and TV out (S-video). It also has dual RAMDAC's permitting different resolutions and refresh rates on the two monitor outputs.

OK thank you, BUT one question. How do I set up the different refresh rates? I was looking around in the different settings in "Display Properties" "Advanced" but I wasnt sure. I don't want to mess around and hit the wrong thing. I want to display 75hz on the DVI monitor and 85hz on the VGA. How do I set this up?
Thank you soooo much for all the help!

I used to run a dual-monitor setup on my Ti4600 that I have. When you have both monitors connected and right click on the desktop, select "Properties..." you can click on the individual monitors and set them up how you like them, and the settings for each monitor are remembered. You should not have a problem.

Tip: If you're running different resolutions on the monitors, click and drag the picture of the monitor in this dialogue box to adjust the "crossover" between them. I used to run different resolutions, and I centralised the crossover.

If you have the latest nVidia drivers, use nView. It has many more options then Windows Display Properties for each monitor.
