PowerColor X1600 Pro

The place to ask for help or solve each others technical issues and discuss hardware

Postby JamesDelphi » Mon Apr 14, 2008 9:13 pm

My knowledge of video cards is very limited. Recently I bought a 2nd-hand PowerColor X1600 Pro with 256Mb GDDR2 RAM - 128-bit - DVI-I Support - TV out.
It seems to be working alright on my computer.

I see in the (Windows XP) graphics properties that they seem to show that the card can run two monitors, does anyone know if this is so?
There was an adaptor that came with it and this could be used for another monitor.

Can two monitors be used with any of the Microsoft Flight Simulators and if so, then how?

If anyone has owned or does own one of these video cards can you tell me what else can it do, example what is DVI-I support etc.

I am really trying to improve my Flight Simulator experience so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Mate,

that adaptor is for a DVI-VGA. Most older Monitors are VGA, but a Graphics card only has one VGA slot. So if you wish to have 2 monitors without THTG, get another cord, and plug it into the DVI slot, using the adaptor.
