Going from video card w/ micro hdmi & 2 dvi into monitor w/ 2 hdmi & 1 vga; ??

trying to determine which would give me the best resolution.  video card has 2 dvi and 1 micro hdmi outs; monitor has 2 regular hdmi and 1 vga.  would the micro hdmi to a regular hdmi work best or would a dvi to hdmi give better resolution.  getting conflicting answers and msi not answering phone today, thanks!
also can i go from 2 dvi into 1 or 2 hdmi to get better resolution?

Resolution is dependent on what your monitor (display device ) supports. It makes no difference which connector you use, as DVI and HDMI are both digital outputs

  • P6n Diamond & GeForce 8800 GTS, No Signal from Video Card

    This is my first computer build. It has taken waaay to long and now I'm on my final step - Getting the video card to work.
    I am running the following:
    MSI P6N Diamond MoBo - Bios are set to the "optimal settings"
    EVGA 640-p2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS 640mb 320-bit GDDR3...

    Philips 20x Dvd/r
    In an Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Case
    Dell E207WFP LCD Monitor
    Windows XP Pro
    *I've updated windows with all their high priority updates, installed the drivers on the cd from MSI
    My problem: When I enable my video card and restart, I can hear the computer starting windows and I see the first load screen but then my monitor says - no signal, turns black and goes into powersaver mode.  The very limited manual from EVGA says: "Quite often this problem is caused by the integrated video card adapter not being disabled prior to installing the new PCI based viedo card"
    My question is this: Does the P6N have an intergrated video card that I should be turning off to get my video card to show? I ran a DxDiag and did not see one. Also, I did only saw one video adapter listed in the device manager.

  • Optiplex 9020, Intel 4600 + AMD video card = bluescreens and other issues for dual monitors

    Our organization purchased a number of 9020s with the onboard Intel and the AMD 8490
    Over time, many of these systems would experience video issues.  Originally they were configured with one monitor was plugged into the intel VGA and the 2nd monitor was plugged into the AMD DVI. output
    Among the issues were bluescreens.  When dragging something from one monitor to another, there would either be another bluescreen or other graphical glitches.  Despite uninstalling/reinstalling both drivers these issues would persist.  Eventually we tried moving both monitors to the Intel outputs,  issue still persisted, then we tried moving all the monitors to the AMD ports,  issue still persisted.   Eventually we removed the AMD card entirely.   That seems to have corrected the graphics issues.    That being said, I don't think the issue is faulty hardware,  about a dozen systems have exhibited this issue so I am doubting that each one of them all have faulty hardware.   I suspect a driver problem somewhere.  The Intel driver and/or the AMD driver don't seem to play well with each other.   
    This issue has persisted across both the AMD 8490 and the AMD R7 250 cards.
    Our organization is locked into certain configurations, so at present, we are unable to order PCs without the extra card.   The extra card hasn't been needed once onboard cards started gaining the ability to do multiple monitors.

    Win7 64 bit.  We haven't had the blue screen in a while so I don't have the specific message, but it did reference an AMD file.  Drivers have been uninstalled/reinstalled numerous times.
    Latest issue is that when the user steps away from the computer and the monitor goes into powersave after 30 minutes, when the user returns the monitors will turn on, but the screen stays dark.

  • I installed a new video card onto my computer...the monitor wont work!!!?

    So I got a new GPU (VGA MSI NX8800GT 512M OC RT). I installed it last night and plugged the monitor into it...I know the computer sees it because the LED light turns green, then it goes to sleep. So I figure that maybe the GPU is incompatible with my motherboard, so I put my old one back in and the same thing happens!!! Anyone know what can cause this?!?!

    Test with mainboard out of PC case:
    Test the motherboard outside of the case to verify that the motherboard is not shorting to the case and causing a problem
         •    With only the CPU and heat sink, memory, and video card (or onboard video) connected to the motherboard, place the motherboard on a non-conductive surface and retest the motherboard
         •    Check the case mounting standoffs to verify that they are lining up correctly with the mounting holes on the motherboard.
    If no change try with different better and well known working PSU

    I like the ATI 4890
    make sure you have 2 slots open since it wide.
    And it has: OpenGL 3.0 support
    One more space to get that hot air out.
    Also:
    500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended (600 Watt and four 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireX™ technology in dual mode)
    make sure you have 2 power connectors to run the dual monitors:

  • Screaming from video card - nvidia 7800 GS

    Bought an Mac AGP Nvidia 7800 GS 256mb card... bios 5.70.02.46.01
    hooked up the molex extension, everything looks good, fire it up? it screams at me angrily.
    did i hook something up wrong?

    Hi-
    This has been flashed to Mac ROM, correct?
    Screams, as in a high pitched squeal/beep?
    This means there isn't power to the Molex.
    Did you split power from the optical drive?
    Double check connections, as sometimes a pin will push out of a Molex connector.
    Also, if the card has tape on the pins (#3 and #11), that should be removed to allow additional 12v.

  • Audio from video clips in FCP X not importing into timeline

    All my video clips play with sound in preview. Once I select my clip and drag it into the timeline, the audio disappears. It's not muted, In the top right information box, it only says Video/Info.
    I have instrumental music playing in the background, but I would like a specific clip to play with sound, and it's just not working out. Am I doing something wrong?

    Is the timeline set to edit source video and audio?

  • Graphics/Video Card [REPLACEMENT / UPGRADE] on HP Pavilion Desktop - Help

    I have the following:
    HP Pavilion Elite m9152p Desktop 
    Upgraded to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (upgraded 11-2009)
    The video card seems to have gone out and I have tried the following:
    Reinstalling Operating system
    Uninstalled & Reinstalled & Rollback drivers
    Prior to the above attempts, no changes had been made to software or hardware only leading to the same result: The video seems to be fine and then it freezes and crashes and ultimately has to have a hard-restart at which point, the computer loads the onboard video/graphics.
    I need to purchase a replacement video/graphics card, but I am unsure what specs I need to be aware of or what my computer can handle as far as a replacement and maybe a possible upgrade (not necessary) - any help in this regard would be most appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I think it is a good choice.
    The reviews seem positive for the most part including that the fan appears to be quiet.
    I don't know if your previous card had HDMI.
    When you install your new video card, it may disable your onboard audio due to the HDMI audio chip on the video card.
    If you do lose your onboard audio, after you install the video drivers, reboot the machine, go into the BIOS, find the onboard audio setting. It may be set to Auto or Disabled. Change the setting to Enabled. Save the setting where you made the change and again when you exit the BIOS.
    Upon reboot you will have your onboard audio back.
    Looking forward to hearing back from you.

  • Six Spare Monitors...MacPro Video Card Advice?

    Greetings,
    I have six spare monitors (Dell 19" 4ea and Dell 24" 2ea) leftover from a PC and I would like to get some advice on MacPro video cards to conncect all six monitors to a single machine.  When I had my PC, I purchased a single eVGA 9500 (two DVI video ports built-in) and two eVGA PCI cards (2 video ports each for four ports).  Once installed, these cards worked flawlessly with the six monitors under Windows Vista and the Aero interface.  The 9500 was $99.00 and the PCI video cards were around $50 each.
    I currently have a late 2009 iMac i7 with an external display, but I find having two screens is somewhat limiting since I had six with my PC.  I've enabled Spaces in Snow Leopard, but all the screen flipping gets on my nerves.  I miss being able to dedicate a monitor to email, another to iTunes, another to the Calendar, another for web browsing, etc.
    Unlike Wintel PCs, the selection of video cards seems to be limited and specialized for MacPros. 
    How would someone go about adding video cards to a MacPro to drive six monitors?
    I've read that the older MacPro video cards aren't very good.  My late 2009 iMac i7 has a Radeon 4850, and I've never had a single problem with it, so I would probably want something similar in my MacPro if that is possible.  
    I'm considering buying a used MacPro off eBay in the $1,000 to $1,500 price range.  I'm planning on using the machine the same way I'm using my iMac today which consists of basic photo editing with iPhoto & Aperture and light video editing with iMovie. 
    Thank you,
    Derrick

    there is a similar discussion over here;

    but you can add another (or more) card in a mac pro for more monitors.
    yes, the choice in cards is limited.
    some PC cards can be flashed, but with no garantees.
    then there is USB, where you can add up to 4 monitors;

  • Video cards with 2 dvi output ports compatiable with hpe h8-1234

    I need a video card that will support 2 dvi monitors and be compatiable with a hpe h8-1234  desktop.  Please help

    Hi,
    The current video card in your PC will support two DVI monitors. Just use a HDMI to DVI cable with one of the monitors. Your video connection possibilities are: one analog DVI monitor and one digital monitor or two DVI digital monitors.  For best results use two digital monitors.

  • CPU rendering why can't a Video Card do the job?

    I started noticing that the flash player rely on a processor
    more than a graphic card, I kind of was hoping that someday that
    flash would work off from video card as a rendering engine. Though
    right now flash player playing flash files seems like it puts too
    much stress on a processor for rendering flash I mean simply why
    can't the video card do the work when processor takes up like 90%
    of the job? and do the job more smoother? Just an idea I'm putting
    out for adobe staff members.

  • No video card?

    Hi all
    I've recently inherited a B/W G3 and monitor but there seems to be no video card (and therefore nowhere to plug my monitor in) can anyone help me with recommended part numbers and possible places I could pick one up please? I just need something standard to run a 19" CRT monitor.
    Many thanks

    The B&W G3s shipped with a 16 MB Apple/ATI Rage 128 PCI (not AGP) graphics card. You may want to look for a slightly newer card, such as the 2001-vintage Radeon 7000 PCI version. ATI's current PCI graphics card for Macs would cost more than the B&W is worth. Whatever you buy, it must be a Mac graphics card, because cards used in PCs won't have the correct ROM code. The card should be installed in the designated 66 MHz PCI slot (the shorter one). If you check eBay, you should be able to find an inexpensive card that's Panther-supported (avoid the ims/ixMicro TwinTurbo cards). With shipping, you shouldn't have to spend any more than $25-$30 - maybe less if you're lucky.
