Dual monitor setup with Display port and vga

By Daniel Rodriguez

I have a motherboard that has a Display port and a VGA output. I would to use 2 screens. But my question is if it would work using both ports.

Kind regards,

Yes you could run two screens if you have one monitor plugged into displayport and one into VGA. However, there is a possibility that the motherboard would not be able to handle it, but nearly all modern ones should. If you have a graphics card though I would recommend plugging your monitors into that if possible or at least one monitor to the card one to the motherboard.

Yes, this will work. You will then need to set the monitors up. The steps in doing this vary depending on the motherboard brand. A quick google with motherboard brand can point you in the right direction.
