I have an ATi radeon HD 4650 from gigabyte and two vga monitors and i want them both pluged-in, but the graphics card only has one vga output, so i want to know if i can put in a second graphics card that is very old and uses PCI slot and then plug-in the second monitor or if I can use my onboard graphics for the other monitor (my motherboard is gigabyte ga-ma74gm-s2h)
You can only transmit one screen through one plug, you can't do two diffrent ones...
Depends if the GPU and Motherboard supports SLI, and it proberally doesn't. That's not PCI that you're talking about, it's called [b]AGP[/b] Acelerated Graphics Processor, and there's usually only one on an old motherboard.

I didn't mean through one plug......
[QUOTE=QuAtT;23175722]I didn't mean through one plug......[/QUOTE]Do you have 2 outputs?

I really mean PCI as PCI and the HD 4650 is a pci-e card i know that cause my MB only supports pci and and pci-e x16

[QUOTE=madmax678;23175736]Do you have 2 outputs?[/QUOTE]
the second output would be the second gpu or onboard gpu
So you have 2 VGA/DVI outputs?
[QUOTE=madmax678;23175756]So you have 2 VGA/DVI outputs?[/QUOTE]
yes I have 1 vga and 1 dvi output but i don't have dvi-vga converter
Then i would go and get one then son...

i have no time and I don't know where is the closest computer shop cause we just moved

does any body know if I can make dvi-vga adaptor at home???
Find some blueprints online or something, they are bound to be somewhere...
no help needed anymore It's working now by onboard gpu
but thanks anyway

That will be fine, but I'd still try and find a DVI-VGA converter.
Aren't onboard graphics disabled automatically when you put in a video card? I have a strange feeling using onboard graphics might not work.
I don't know about the PCI card though. Doubtful.

the PCI graphics still isn't working but the onboard graphics isn't disabled when you put in the pci-e graphics
you just have to setup BIOS settings properly and you can use the onboard graphics even with pci-e card installed
btw: It's still running fine with the second monitor connected to the motherboard

That would probably be pretty hard.
