Yes, you need a card that supports two monitors....... and of course two monitors 😂

is there a way you can use two cards?

Two(or more)bridged cards can be used from specific Motherboards.

You would have to use 1 AGP and 1 PCI (not express).
The PCI cards are old and the best you might get is a 64mb.

If you have a good AGP or PCI Express it will handle the two monitors with a small loss in FPS.

most ATI cards can handle 2 monitors, even the cheap ones.

Usually 1 CRT and 1 LCD but you can buy an adapter if you want to run 2 monitors of the same type.
You will take an FPS hit.

you can use two video cards that are pci for a dual display
any two video cards will work, you just need to set the first one in the bios
and it is flight simulator that does not support the use of two monitors
i have three a nvidia card with 2 outputs..and a pci one.
