Help w/ dual monitor setup

Zaspera · Oct 13, 2011

I just got a Powercolor 6990 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131395&Tpk=powercolor%206990) and another Asus VH242H (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236052&Tpk=vh242h). I obviously want to run a dual monitor setup. I've always used just 1 and it was always via HDMI. So what do I need to do this since there is only 1 DVI port and no HDMI port? Thanks for the help guys.

Use the Mini-DP to DVI adapter that came with the 6990.

+1

this is the way to go

, if for some reason one doesn't come packaged this is still what you need to purchase
