How do I enable 2 displays with this video card

I have purchased a ASUS HD 64509 Silent 1GB DDR3 graphics card. I plugged it in the computer and got everything setup and only one monitor works even if i try to extend the desktop it doesn't work. Windows will not even recognize the second monitor. Please help as i have to use both monitors.

Operating System is Windows 7 32-bit

I'm assuming you did the ol' turn off computer; turn on trick. If that didn't work, try unplugging the graphics card.

What inputs are you trying to plug in? ie) VGA, HDMI, DVI, MiniDisplay, etc.

vga and dvi

I'm assuming you installed the latest drivers and updates from Windows and ASUS.

yes and did not have much luck

Hmm. In the ASUS settings, don't you see an option to make a second display availible? I know Nvidia does that with their suite. Or better yet, if you disconnect the VGA, can you see the DVI fine? Try hotswapping, it might help.

cant see anything on dvi. i have it converting from vga to the DVI and its not working but the adapter works fine as i have used it back on the last card i had

Hmm, all I can say is try the other HDMI port then, I mean looks like the DVI isn't being seen my Windows, which is odd.

i did try vga and hdmi to my tv and it worked im not sure what it is but im ordering an hdmi to dvi adapter so that might work. I have no idea why this is but maybe something to do with eyefinity?

(Jul 16 '12 at 01:05) brandonj

I heard that Eyefinity wasn't supported on that graphics card, maybe it might be that.

when i tried it last night it said something about eyefinity. I honestly dont't know much about how eyefinity works and the amd site doesn't explain it well
