I have to hand 2 graphics cards. Neither suggests, on the box labelling, that it can support 2 independent display views.

1) Gigabyte GT730 with 2GB GDDR5 ram.

2) Gigabyte GE Force 210 with 1GB DDR3 ram.

One of these cards is installed in the machine, the other is currently spare. I have two monitors ready and waiting, one supports VGA and HDMI, the other just VGA. I think I can lay my hands on sufficient cables.

Is my best bet to just plug and see if it plays? Try all the combinations of one card, the other card, two cards etc and see if the software lets me configure?

Ta,

Rans6andrew.
