I want to use two monitors, but my desktop has one hdmi port.

I want to employ a second monitor, but it appears that this desktop has one hdmi port. Is there a workaround?

Yes -- but it might not work.

I have an extra monitor connected to a USB port -- and then have a USB-to-VGA adapter to connect that to a VGA cable to a monitor.  I said it might not work because I had to go through three adapters until I got one with drivers that actually worked.

You will have to get an adapter also -- one to connect a USB port on your desktop to a video cable that then connects with whatever input jack(s) are on your monitor.

Does this graphics card have multiple outputs -- one per monitor.

If not, replace it by one that does have multiple outputs.
