Dual Monitors - both at 1920x1080

[7-D]

I'm building a computer that needs to have dual-screens and it's important to me that both screens run at full resolution (1920x1080). There will be no gaming involved.

I am looking to buy this card for it, EVGA GeForce GT 640:

With this card i'll be using both DVI ports connected to separate monitors.

Will there be any issues getting 1920x1080 on both monitors using this setup?

Do I even need the card? Will the motherboard's onboard chips and connections be able to handle the dual-monitors at the resolution I want?

ASRock LGA 1155 Intel Z77

If you are connecting both by dvi, you will need the card as the onboard graphics only has 1 dvi port. The card will be able to handle it, and you'll probably get a nice display too.

use onboard and dvi + hdmi (or +hdmi&hdmi to dvi converter). but the 640 would cope easily, as would a 610 if you can find one with 2x duallink dvi.

yeah, what they said. literally any video card you can find that has the connections you need will EASILY handle general windows desktop duties/browsing the web/playing video

it's only when you add heavy rendering (like playing an intensive game) that you need more than the bargain basement $20/$30 cards

So If I did just use the onboard DVI & HDMI would it be able to give me both displays @ 1920x1080 like the dedicated card would? Thanks.

no reason why it shouldn't be able to, try it and buy a discrete one if it doesn't.

All good answers. Thanks so much. Went with a slightly cheaper 630 (dual DVI) in the end just to be certain.
