So i am going to buy a new PC with the 770, and i already have a VGA display and i am going to buy a HDMI one, since i Dont find good DVI 22´´ lower than 115€ in portugal.

 

So my question ii:

 

Can i use the 770 to power de HDMI one and a GT 8600 to power the VGA?

 

Ando when i´m going to game, does it interfere with anything?

 

Thanks

You can use both screens at the same time. You will need an adapter to convert the DVI port on the graphics card to VGA. A lot of cards come with these adapters in the box with the card, but if it is a pre-built machine. You might want to inquire and make sure they supply you with a DVI to VGA adapter.

Well, In this case its HDMI &/or VGA, I think HDMI is the lesser of 2 evils.
