My NVDIA GeForce 8800 GT recently stopped working so I bought a new graphics card. I bought a ATI Radeon HD 5830 series, The problem is that I use dual monitors and my new Radeon card only has one monitor port. Can someone recommend me another graphics card so I can run my other monitor on it. I should also say that I have a 750W PSU
You could get a Radeon 4800 series for relatively cheap prices, I'm quite sure most of them have dual monitor capabilities. The 4890 card its self is extremely good after using one for around 6 months. My card went for around $250 CAN last year.
I don't think I've ever heard of a 5800 series card having only one output. Got a link to where you got it from?
Also, a link to your Motherboard (or just tell us if you have a PCI-E slot). If you've only got one PCI-E connection, you're gunna have to use a PCI card (which are horrendously slow)
Probably means it only has one DVI port.
You need to post the exact card so we can help you with maybe an adapter instead of a whole new card.

You can't crossfire 5800 series and 4800 series
And There aren't any 5800 series cards with only 1 port. Most have 3+
Just get an adaptor.
Sorry about the confusion, I only have one DVI port. and the motherboard I have is a Dell Inc 0PP150. Heres a link to it, i think. [url]http://www.newgeardeals.com/dell-xps-630-630i-dekstop-motherboard-pp150-0pp150.html[/url]
A Friend recommended that I just get another HD Radeon 5830 card. Would that work?
