As long as your vid card have DVI just get what’s called a DVI to HDMI adapter and you should be rocking! The vid card should state on it HDCP, this mean high def complaint or capable. Nevertheless check with where ever you get the card(s) from. usually the cards that have this adapter are more than likely true HD cards.Being safe than sorry: Anything at or over 512 MB type cards can normally handle it without a problem so long as they are EVGA, BFG, or Diamond. Do not go with an off brand like sparkle,or inland. PNY are usually toss ups I’ve had cards not do it so return it and try another only to find that card does do it.

  1. your good to go for 1080P

    I have here, 2 laptops, one with X4500GMA Intel and the other with GTX260M, If the cheapo X4500GMA rips through BlueRay without a hiccup, then your 2 x 285 GTX can to.
