I just ordered Desktop Aviator's GPS Panel - 2450 which needs a second video source . I currently have a 580GTX running dual screens, which I don't want to give up. Would USB ->vga video adaptor have the power to run just the windowed GPS from FSX?

Somewhere down the road I plan on getting a CDU (Opencockpits or FDS) that also requires a vga port so what would be an adequate secondary video card to purchase when this time comes?

 

Thanks

Kevin - your 580 has a mini-HDMI socket next to the DVI outputs. You will then need a mini-hdmi - VGA (from DA's pic). Interesting - they have good products.

Here is another AVSim post that might be of some help with your installation of DTA's GPS
