div cable splitter

[bobisafish90]

Does any body have a link to a good dvi splitter going to use it for dual monitors

Umm using a DVI Splitter will not give you two monitors to work with. It will ONLY mirror the two. They will both display the same exact thing.

You either 1) need to get a video card that supports dual monitors or 2) double check to make sure you have more than 1 monitor output on your PC.

What PC/Video card are you using?

You do NOT need a splitter.

You can attach both monitors to the GTX760 graphics card. I suggest you use both of the DVI outputs (one per monitor).

(If the graphics card only has one DVI output, then use the HDMI output with an HDMI->DVI adapter)

Then get the latest NVidia drivers from the NVidia site.

After that, go into the NVidia Control Panel (lower right in System Tray) and configure which one is Monitor #1 and which is Monitor #2.

*I just modified my answer.

You can use the HDMI output with an HDMI->DVI adapter, or an HDMI->DVI cable.

I believe this is the correct one:

that video card DOES HAVE 2 DVI PORTS!! Its has 2 DVI, HDMI, and Display Port! If you look at the picture of it on the back it it shows two DVI ports! On top of that besides Low Profile Cards I don't know too many high end cards that Don't have 2 DVI ports.

So the vga cable slot can.be used as a div slot?

If your talking about connecting a VGA Cable from the Monitor to the DVI then Yes but you will need a DVI to VGA Adapter BUT with those monitors there is not need for that. You have 2 DVI Ports. Those monitors come with DVI ports and cables just use 2 dvi cables! No need for VGA.

The desktop itself only has one dvi port

Ah ok was going off the pictures. I looked but didn't see anything until i looked again. You can either use a VGA and a DVI or if you want to use HDMI and DVI since the Monitors have have VGA, DVI, HDMI and the Video card has all of those so it doesn't matter what combo of the 3 you use. Doesn't matter what your doing you won't really see any difference between the 3 either so it really doesn't matter what 2 of the 3 you use.

So if I use a div and a hdmi it will work and not mess with my sound system

No not as long as after you plug it in make sure to go to sounds in control panel and that the output you want is set as default. Like on mine i have my HDMI set to default though my video card because if its on i want my sound to go though my TV. If i turn it off it just used the SPDIF and i use my Turtle Beach Head phones.
