Could my XFX Radeon HD 6770 support 2 monitors?

[Tokthree]

If you can plug two monitors into it then it can support two monitors.
Supporting them in gaming might be a different issue, however

I'll tell you why I didn't include a graphics card,
I decided that If i don't get a graphics card I can use the CPU Graphics and then still have good rest of the parts. So thats exactly what I did. in the future (on your birthday or something) start upgrading, first I would suggest upgrading the powersupply. then mobo the CPU then add on a graphics card then put some nicer ram on there and maybe slap it in a better case.

Though if you decide that you want to hand out $50 extra dollars, it is worth upgrading the CPU

Oh my thanks I will defiantly be using this.

Could my XFX Radeon HD 6770 support 2 monitors?

any card since 2003 should be able to support multiple monitors on a single GPU

[Mr.jacksaunt]

Quick question, if I plug a moniter into a vga slot, then plug another one into the hdmi on a laptop, would that work?

Oh my thanks I will defiantly be using this.

Didn't you say you wanted to play Blockland on Very High/Max? There's no GPU in that system, and it's using Intel Integrated Graphics which don't support Blockland shadows and shaders.

[Titanium Man]

i personally don't like brians setup, i think this will work out better for you zacks - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/E0XG
its has a pretty good gpu and cpu

plus i think amd processors are way better than intel in the lower-end gaming pc cpu competition

but if you have an extra 200 bucks you could've went the intel way because intel totally wins in the high-end gaming pc cpu competition

it has no operating system or hard drives because you told me you have those already

I know I'll save money for a GTX 550 SE or a radeon 7750(?) Koopa recommended these cards to me i believe. And some intel cards can run shaders on minimuim.

[SiliconCactus]

No they can't.

[Zacks]

No they can't.

I believe the intel 9000 or whichever is the latest. I believe badspot posted about it too? or replied to a user about it.

[SpreadsPlague]

the intel 9000

[Zacks]

[SpreadsPlague]
