One DVI signal "link" -- if the card's DVI socket is single or dual link is something you should check in the card specs -- has an effective max pixels of 1915 x 1436 pixels at 60 Hz. (or various other combinations for something that isn't 4:3.) Not enough for 2 large monitors with a splitter, in other words. One 1920x1200 per DVI link. While the connector has the pins for dual link, you're not guaranteed that the graphics card will drive them. Lots of "value" range cards (and some "mainstream" range cards) have dual sockets but drive the sockets single-link. -- Graydon -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
