Hi. I have this:

Sapphire Ati Radeon HD 4850 512MB.

Dell 2007FP (DVI, etc).

Samsung 2032NW (VGA).

 

I want to make it work in dual monitors mode but it's not possible yet.

So, my second option is to change to a better card. I want to know which cards you recommend me (ATI or NVIDIA), similar or better than the HD4850, which let me have dual monitors.

 

I also want to know if it would be possible to have my Samsung (VGA) as the main monitor and the Dell (DVI) as the second one. (That's because I want to use the Dell for color grading in Apple Color).

 

Thank you.

Rodrigo

 

And just 2 tiny doubts I have:

Is the driver different for 2 cards with the same chip (i.e. HD4850) but manufactured by different companies (i.e. Sapphire, MSI, etc)?

Is the driver different for 2 cards with the same chip but with different connectors or positions (i.e. 1DVI 2HDMI 3VGA / 1DVI 2HDTV 3DVI)?
