If i connect my VGA monitor to this adapter and then plug it into my graphics card, i can use it as a dual monitor display with my other DVI monitor?

Yes, as long as you have the dvi out on your computer and the display port out on your computer, then you will be able to do the dual monitors this way. I currently have a dell with a vga out and a hdmi out. I have one monitor go to the vga and the other to the hdmi. This is nice that it works this way because most newer computers now come built with multiple video outs. Which means you don't have to spend the extra dollars getting a high performance video card with dual adapters.

Depends on your graphics card. If you have a DVI-I output, then no. If you have a DVI-D, then maybe. This page here (http://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/221/~/what-is-the-difference-between-dvi-i-and-dvi-d?) will show the difference between the two outputs. This adapter didn't work for my card, I had to purchase an active adapter which costs $20-$30, but each cards is different. Hope it helped.

It depends on what you are trying to do. You CAN'T go from a VGA output from your computer to a digital input on the monitor. I ended up not using this adapter and buying a new, plain vanilla video card with two HDMI outputs, and connecting my monitors with HDMI cables. ( P.S., this was a snap; there was futzing around involved at all).

Well, what you are asking is whether it is VGA to DisplayPort. Answer is: No. It is DisplayPort to VGA adapter.

It is probable, but you have to make sure that both dvi ports on what you are connecting it to are Dual Link DVI. Some graphics cards only have one dual-link dvi. Mine did come with a dual link dvi cable.

You can hook up any two monitors that have a connection for display port and dvi regardless of resolution. You can even use an adapter to dvi, hdmi, or display port to suit whatever you monitor has inputs for including going back to VGA

No, this card has 2 DVI, 1 HDMI and 1 Display Port, this one doesn't have a vga port.

With the right adapters yes. I use 3 DVI > HDMI cables for my screens. I've tried and tested and yes with a $5 DVI>VGA adapter/dongle you can run two VGA screens and one HDMI.If you are going to buy an AMD card for multiple monitors check out the following link and it will help you determine how many monitors you can set up with any number of adapters. http://www.amd.com/us/products/technologies/amd-eyefinity-technology/how-to/Pages/faqs.aspx

What do you mean by 'a splitter'? If you mean having 2 connections off the DVI connection, then no. If you just mean use a DVI&gt;VGA adapter, so 1 monitor plugged into VGA port and another plugged into the adapter on the DVI, then yes. If you have 2 DVI only monitors, you should be able to use the DVI port for one and use a DVI&gt;HDMI cable to use the HDMI port for the other.

I would assume it would. You might have to Detect Displays (Cmd + F2) to get the VGA monitor online if your using it as a secondary monitor.

This Mini-DisplayPort DVI adapter will NOT work with a DVI-VGA adapter. You need a separate adapter for that. I test it myself because I needed it for setting up a presentation and it did not work.

Yes, I am using it for this right now. One monitor is on the built-in HDMI port, the other is using this adapter.

I used this device for (2) computers, each computer had a DVI and a VGA and was using those ports for dual monitors. This device allowed me to switch between the two computers on both monitors for each. Based on that, I believe if you used the DVI on one channel, and then the VGA on the other channel, that this would work. That being said, you may be better off just getting a DVI-VGA adapter and using a cheap switch.

Display port adapters can be purchased to twin monitors or separate them, so 4 monitors could potentially be ran simultaneously from this card The VGA is not a problem as you can get a display port to double VGA adapter if you like. However the downside is that the memory is divided between the displays so the more you have the less memory each one will have. If you are using this for high end graphic stills this would be fine, video will be compromised greatly.

Hi Angela, not sure if you mean DVI to VGA but mine came with a DVI-VGA adapter.
