Asus P8B75-M-LX running two monitors?

[woodson75]

Is it possible to run two monitors on this mobo with integrated graphics, for browsing/document viewing/editing? (with an i3-3220).

The specs on the Asus site say:

Integrated Graphics Processor
Multi-VGA output support : DVI/RGB ports
- Supports DVI with max. resolution 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz
- Supports RGB with max. resolution 2048 x 1536 @ 75 Hz
Maximum shared memory of 1696 MB



Thanks for any help.

Yes it should be able to run more than one monitor from the Igpu IIRC.

You should be OK if your motherboard supports multiple video out connections. Your 3220 supports Intel HD Graphics 2500, which supports a maximum resolution of 2560x1600, and up to 3 monitors running simultaneously. Check out this article for more information:

(Look at the display section specifically)

The Mobo has 1xD-Sub port and 1x DVI-D.

The Intel link you sent (thanks) mentions the cpu allowing 3 "Independent Digital Displays" - as the mobo only has one digital output (and one analog), where does that leave me?

If you have both of the monitors readily available, then just test them and try it out. Otherwise, you might have to consider dropping about $40-60 on a cheap GPU that can support two digital displays (HDMI/DVI, 2xDisplayport, Displayport/HDMI, etc.) and work from there.

Ok, thanks for the advice.
