AMD Radeon 6870 HD dual monitors

[Fburic95]

Hello

I am running a Radeon 6870 HD graphics card and have 2 VGA monitors, one I am currently running normally with a DVI port adapter and there are no issues. The second monitor is a result of one of my projects, where i turned a laptop screen into a monitor for my PC. So both of my monitors only have VGA slots.

The problem is how can i run them both on my graphics card. I know it is a rather old card but i don't need a new one ( and don't have the cash) but i like the dual monitor configuration. Is there any way to run it without problems?

On the card I got one DVI-I port, one DVI-D port, one HDMI and one DP. I know that one monitor will work on the DVI-I port with the DVI/VGA adapter, so what should i do with the other one?

thank you in advance and sorry for bad spelling, english is not my native language

It should work fine, I have my 24" Viewsonic monitor via VGA and my 42" TV via DVI, no problems. Try selecting the options on your monitor, since I have the exact same card and works like a charm for me.

Depending on your second monitors input connections, you can buy an adapter that will suit your monitor.

What does your 2nd monitor have? You mentioned that they are VGA so you could get HDMI to VGA adapter: http://www.amazon.co.uk/1-8M-Gold-Plated-Adapter-Cable/dp/B006I0IL0M/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1423660403&sr=1-3&keywords=HDMI+to+VGa

Sorry if i explained wrong in the question, both of the monitors are VGA, and one of tham is running normaly on the DVI-I port of the graphics card with the help of one adapter. The second monitor won't run with the adapter because of the DVI-D port on the graphics card ( card has one DVI-I and one DVI-D,and HDMI and DP... )

I thought of that, now the question is will the passive conversion from HDMI to VGA work good? i heard that often there are problems with the analog/digital conversion, so that one should buy a active adapter...
