Yes, I have ever since the software update, and it works fine running a dual monitor from my MacBook Pro off of the DVI.

I used a DisplayPort to a DVI-D cord. Unfortunately, the HDMI only works out, not in. However, the screen resolution is still nice and sharp.

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

Yes! One is HDMI and the other is DVI. I have two ASUS HD monitors on the system currently.

I didn't have any luck with this. I had to go a different route for my solution, HDMI/DVI. I hope this helps.

It's quite possible. Problem with using multiple video signals is the card will only broadcast in one resolution. You'll have to adjust the video to the receiving box that has the lowest resolution typically. I've used analog and DVI at the same time but not sure why an HDMI connector wouldn't carry a signal out to a third device at the same time.

Actually, you can just use 1 DVI cable, 1 HDMI cable and 1 Displayport cable for the other monitors. You need monitors that have the connections though.

Yes, you can run multiple displays. I bought the card primarily so that I could connect HDMI cable from the card to the monitor using HDMI port. I would suggest using the HDMI and the DVI ports on the card to the monitors, NOT the VGA port which would have the least video quality / resolutions support unless you do not have any monitors with HDMI connecitons. Then you will have to use VGA port.

No don't work with 2 monitors simultaneously, only with one on HDMI or DVI.

Yes, I do this routinely. My monitors are a 22" Acer (via DVI,) a 50" Seiki (via DVI-to-HDMI,) & an Oculus Rift (via hdmi).

The unit actually has a single HDMI, one DVI and a VGA.(There is also a VGA from the motherboard, but I have not tried using that in conjunction with the graphics card) The DVI and VGA are linked so if you are doing split monitor operations, they are the same output. I do use the HDMI port as a split monitor and the controls allow you to designate which will be mon1 and mon2 --- with the desktop where you want it. Hope that helps.

Yes you can. That is exactly my setup at work. You could also hdmi out to another independent monitor and usb out to another if you wanted. Thanks rMBP!

first of all john, nice name. onto the question though, i personally have been unsuccessful at using a triple screen display with a single videocard, BUT thats not to say that its impossible, i have tried an active adapter that goes from dvi (dual link) to vga, however it might work with the displayport, but i do not have the money anymore to try it

I haven't tried the HDMI but I have lesser cards that I do that with. I run 2 monitors both DVI with this card.

I am sorry to tell you that I made the same mistake. All you can do is mirror the DVI input. One thing I am working on though is creating aa custom driver that will double the virtual width of the monitor resolution while still maintaining the same height. I have gotten close once but the aspect ratio for the width doubled as well. Resulting in watching movies with a bunch of short fat people. My work around for now is to use the vga jack out of my laptop for one 23" monitor and an HDMI to DVI-D adapter and DVI-D cable to my other 23" monitor. This gives me 3 hi-res displays to use. Not the most elegant solution but it works. If you find an answer I would love to here it. If I get my custom double wide driver to work I will be happy to share. Cheers, CJ. Cjchumbley@computer.org

Yes, one to VGA & the other to HDMI. You may need an adapter. You can extend or mirror the two displays. See - Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Display\Screen Resolution. Had no issues.
