Can I run dual graphics with only this card?

Go to the NVidia website, download the latest driver for the Geforce GT 610 GPU (part of GeForce 600 series), install the driver for your Operating System, reboot computer, log in and launch the Nvidia Control Panel. Set up multiple displays through the NVidia Control Panel only (within the Windows Operating System you are using). Ensure that the Source Control for your monitor is set to the connector you are using on the back of the monitor (for example, set source to HDMI, or HDMI1, or HDMI2, or VGA, or DVI, or DVI1 or DVI2, or DVI-D, or whatever connection you have on your monitor (depends on make and model), and whatever source options that you have in the Monitor. If the Source is set wrong, you will not see any display. In the BIOS, you can disable On-Board Graphics (the graphics built into the main-board) so that the system will be sure to use the Graphics Card instead. Ensure that you are using a resolution and refresh rate (in Hz) that is supported by the monitor that you have.

Yes, you can run multiple displays. I bought the card primarily so that I could connect HDMI cable from the card to the monitor using HDMI port. I would suggest using the HDMI and the DVI ports on the card to the monitors, NOT the VGA port which would have the least video quality / resolutions support unless you do not have any monitors with HDMI connecitons. Then you will have to use VGA port.

Yeah, you should be able to crossfire it with a different manufacturer's card as long as it's a 7970. The clock/memory speeds will be set to the same for both cards, but it should work fine.

Not really. The extra card is for the most intensive games and graphics processing. If you don't need dual cards, get the single configuration.

You can only do SLi if the cards are both the same and basically look at it like this. If you do SLi you are basically doubling what one card can do. SLi will not work if the cards are different.

With 2 graphic cards you get practically double the performance for games or other applications which use graphic processing.Check the tests here for 1 card: http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-650M.71887.0.htmland for 2 graphic cards (the same config as this noetbook): http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-650M-SLI.84953.0.html

This processor will require a separate discrete graphics card, unless your motherboard has on-board video. Consult you motherboard manual if you aren't certain

I run dual monitors all the time with no problems. The card has a DVI, HDMI, and a VGA port. You can also use the second monitor or the standard graphics from your mother board.

The card itself is capable of SLI. Whether or not your motherboard and chipset are capable depends on what they are. But yes, you can certainly run two of these in SLI. Or three. Or four.

It certainly can. Intel UMA is really just a fancy term for saying that your graphics system uses the system RAM rather than having its own dedicated memory for graphic rendering. That said, a stand-alone graphics card with its own dedicated (faster) onboard memory will give you better results. It depends on the level of detail and performance you are hoping to achieve but purchasing a reasonably low cost graphics card +/- $100 could drastically improve your gaming experience with this and all games like it.

You need a separate card. The AMD FX line does not have integrated graphics.

I'm pretty sure you could do that with any video card that supports multi monitors. The ram on the card only really helps GPU intensive games.

If the question is "can you install another graphics card?" the answer is yes. If the question is "can you update the installed graphics card?" I don't know.

I run two. I wouldn't recommend 3 with this card. I would rather get another video card that is better for that.

Yes you can any graphics card would do. I got the Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHZ OC 2 GB 256 -bit GDDR5 DL-DVI-I/SL-DVI-D/HDMI/DP PCI-Express Graphics Card 100354OC-2L.

it has a pcie slot so i dont think it really matters if the memory on a dedicated graphic card is dd2/ddr3 so yes you can

Yes, but both card must be same memory and a GTX 780. Can be different makers but it 's better to use same graphic cards.
