Graphic Cards GFX card to power a 50" Plasma

[Gr1M]

I recently bought a Panasonic 50" PLASMA TV and wanted to connect my desktop directly to the TV (which has a VGA Connection).

My desktop currently has a Geforce 8400 GS.

As most GFX Cards do, it has 2 DVI outs on it.

I wanted to know if this card would be capable of powering both together :

1. DELL 24" Monitor and

2. 50" PLASMA TV.

If not, can someone please suggest me what would be a correct GFX card to purchase to use it for both the displays. I dont game at all on the desktop now so that isnt a requirement.

Thanks.

DVI doesn't have sound output. How are you going to rectify that when connecting it to the TV?

Get a good AMD 5xxx card within 4k with a HDMI and DVI port. Connect the former to TV wherein sound is required and latter to the monitor wherein it is not...

Let the techies comment on the card series in which i dont have any idea when it comes to AMD

hi, is the TV Full HD or HD ?

Mostly will be Full HD. Your current GPU will be able to handle the basic acquirement, but no gaming.

Yeah , get an HD6450 for 2k , with hdmi out as DVI ports can't give you sound on plasma sound .

Cant the 3.5mm port be used for sound?

Sarath! : I completely forgot about the sound !! Thanks for that.

spr : its a FULL HD 3D Plasma.

GameR1120 : Thanks, will check out the HD6450.
