Can an R9 270 run 2 Dell U2412m screens?

[Strobey MacNaughty]

Can I run 2 Dell U2412m 1920x1200 monitors off a single R9 270 or 270x graphics card?

TIA.

It can run two monitors yes for browsing and casual uses. But for gaming on two monitors, it is not recommended.
What R9 270 or R9 270X are you looking at? some have different outputs from others.

Depending on what you are doing then yes. Some games will lag you out but some games will not. But if you run into lag problems caused by running two screens then just do not use the second screen for the game. I use my second screen to keep track of things while I use the first to game.

Small ones!

That's pretty much what I have in mind, I've single monitored since I stepped up to 24" but it's always good to have a holding pen for spare windows to one side. I thought about 2560x1440, but I'm wondering if 2 1920x1200 screens don't make more sense.
