HD question: Dual Monitor Setup

Comrade · Nov 17, 2009

So I've got An EVGA GTX260 superclocked (HDCP ready) card with 2xDVI ports hooked up to an ACER X223 via DVI connector.

My question is this:
If i were to get a Full 1080p monitor And used the HDMI port converters to hook it up to my graphics card, would there be any issues with trying to send a signal to the non-HD and the full HD monitor simultaneously?

HD is "just" a resolution. You can have 2 monitors with different resolutions no problems. You can even mix digital and analog, ie DVI and VGA. So you should be OK with two digital signals.

(Well, except that moving video from monitor 1 to monitor 2, or crossing a boundary, can be an issue small issue unless you have eyefinity)
