[warder348]

Will this card run dual monitors? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AZHOWL0/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2? smid=A8AFHGL03OEF2&psc=1 I don't need a high powered gaming card,the program I use [ Bryce 3D ] does all of it's rendering off of the cpu, and I need a low profile cheap card just for running dual monitors. 2nd, how do I set it up to run dual monitors, one off the dvi port and one off the vga port or what. Will be the first time I've ever ran dual monitors so I need all the help I can get. I'm 70 so this will be something new for me. Thanks, I appreciate your help and for taking the time to respond!!!

Yes you can run one monitor off the DVI connection and the second off the VGA as long as those connections are supported by the monitor. After installing the graphics card (710) you will want to download/install the newest driver from Nvidia then open the Nvidia Control Panel to setup the monitors the way you like.

Thanks, sounds like it will be easier than iI thought.

It's pretty easy, just make sure both are connected to the GPU.

The only other thing that confuses people sometimes is that you might have to go into the windows display settings and tell windows which monitor is on the left and which is on the right. You might get lucky and already have them set correctly when you plug them in. If not it can be confusing when you try to drag your mouse from the right monitor to the left one and it gets stuck on the edge of the right monitor.

short answer yes.

as per image and description from the web site you linked, looks like one HDMI, and one DVI.
make sure what your monitors are capable, as there are a number of GT 7xx series that have variations on the video output connections.

Will this card https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133274 fit in a Dell 780 mini Tower, I can get this computer with the same specs for the same price and I already have the card, brand new, still in the box , bought in 2009. I'm a little more familar with this size of computer, the other is a Dell 780 DT. If I have to will the Msi GT 710 fit in the mini tower, the Pny quadro has dual link dvi ports and runs totalty off pci slot power just like the GT 710. I'll have a second choice this way, witch do ya'll think is the better way to go? Thanks again for your help!! [The only reason I ask this is because I have 16gigs of DDR3 memory bought in 2009 also,which is what the mini tower uses, where the dell 780 DT uses DDR2 memory. Would save me quite a bit of money as I was going to upgrade the DT to 16gigs any way, and living on a fixed income this would help a lot. Thanks again!!

Possibly, it's hard to say for sure if we don't know the dimensions however from the pics I've seen it appears it would fit.
