I want to connect my PC to my HD LCD but dont want to have to keep swapping the cable on PC from monitor to TV everytime, so want to get a new gfx card with multiple outputs and leave both connected permanently.
The distance between the two (approx 13m) is making buying a new card with DVI out and getting digital cable too expensive (15m DVI>HDMI approx £80)..

So was thinking of a new card just with twin VGA out and buying 15m VGA for approx £20, but cant find any cards with twin VGA..

Anyone help??

depends on how much you want to spend. MIne has twin VGA

Actually it is DVI, but a DVI to VGA adapter comes with it and a second one would only cost about $4

maybe you can find some kind of splitter similar to this:

thats true mate, vga is being dropped like agp but a simple convertor does the job.

mine is a asus 7600gt and i got 2 dvi to vga convertors bundled in and its got svhs out as well which i use to connect to my old crt tv.

as i dont know how much (if any now) you want to spend this chart shows all but the very latest cards (8800s go at the top) and how they compare in some games and other apps.

Cheers Marsey.
Was after a chart like that showing all cards out there in some sort of order..
Although typically I didnt check back to this thread until AFTER I had shelled out on a card. Hehe.

It comes up in the bottom ten in most results on that link, but I am not a hardcore gamer, only have the odd blast on San Andreas or Unreal Tournament 2004.
Want it mostly for the twin output for playing HD stuff to my LCD as I mentioned.
