HELLO there everyone, im new to this forum and it has answered some of my questions but i have never found an answer to this one, i have a amd a8-550 APU and i have 2 monitors, i was wondering if i could buy another card (an amd one) just for multitasking, i use the main monitor for gaming but i want the other one for multitasking, is theere a way to make them work together, basically can i get my amd apu to work with a separete amd graphics card, one for a monitor and one for the other?

The APU can work in Dual Graphics mode with a HD 67xx gfx card. That should allow you to use 2 monitors. But doesn't your motherboard have both DVI and HDMI ports on it now?

If you don't want to use Dual Graphics to accomplish that, you can use a discrete card for one of the monitors. I did that with a AMD card for gaming and an Nvidia card for monitor #2. I suppose you could do it with 2 AMD GPUs and one driver as well, although I've never tried it.
