AMD RADEON 6550D Dual Monitors

[SomeGreekGuy]

Hi guys, I've never setup a dual monitor before and i thought it would be as simple as plugging in 2 monitors into my computer... turns out its not, lol.

So pretty much my computers processor is "AMD A8-3870 APU with Radeon HD Graphics" which has a GPU the AMD RADEON 6550D, the monitors work if I only use one of them, my main monitor has an HDMI cable which I've been using for the past year, and Ive got an old monitor lying around that uses Analog RGB so i want to set that up to. Both monitors work fine on the computer one at a time, so I'm assuming its a graphics card issue or something like that. Also my motherboard has a DVI port, HDMI port and RGB port. And I'm on windows 7. Let me know if any other details or needed to help me troubleshoot this

Any help would be appreciated

Why not just buy like a 6570 and use it in hybrid crossfire and plug the cables into there?

I dont have the money right now to buy another graphics card lol, plus I was just wondering if its possible to get 2 monitors working on my machine.

Don't think the APUs support Eyefinity...
Idk email customer support lol

anybody else have an idea if it could work without buying an extra card?
