Multi Monitor with RX 580 advice?

Hello all,

 

I was blessed this Black Friday and was fortunate enough to pick up a new 27in 1080p monitor. However, I would also like to use my old 20in 1024x768 monitor as a secondary display off to the side. I still need to get some adapters to convert my rx 580 outputs (3 displayports, 1 hdmi) in order to make this work as the old monitor only uses vga (new one uses vga and hdmi). I was wondering if anyone has any experience with a configuration like this or could provide some insight regarding the setup. Are there any softwares or anything I need to download? I would like the 27in to be my primary display. 

 

Thank you in advance.

No you'll be fine. The 580 has a DVI port so you can find a DVI to VGA easily.

 

If you do want to make the use of two monitors easier you can buy Display Fusion, it gives a large amount of functionality for two displays.

 

If you want some neat wallpapers, buy wallpaper engine off steam
