What specifically are you trying to do theres probably a better way of going about it.

And this will only work if you have a DVI input on the 2nd pc.

If you are asking whether you can connect two displays with one video card , one via DVI and one via HDMI, the answer is YES.

If you are asking anything else, please clarify.

William Norberg :

It has a DVI input ? Not just a DVI port....but one specifically designed as input ?
Please list the card or board that has this.

I have 2 pc's. One with hdmi and dvi, and one only with dvi. My monitor doesn't got any dvi inputs. So i have to connect my pc without hdmi, to my pc WITH hdmi, and then to my monitor.

William Norberg :

That won't work (daisy chaining PCs to a single display).

USAFRet · Sep 23, 2014

William Norberg :

This will only work if that DVI port is also input. Which I'm willing to bet is NOT input.

William Norberg · Sep 23, 2014

COLGeek :

What should i do then? i have to get it up and running today.

COLGeek · Sep 23, 2014

Without a KVM or a second display, I don't see any option here.

What input ports does your display support (VGA, HDMI, DVI, DisplayPort)?

USAFRet · Sep 23, 2014

William Norberg :

Obtain a DVI -> HDMI converter
or
Port the data over to the PC that does have the HDMI port.

William Norberg · Sep 23, 2014

COLGeek :

Vga and Hdmi. The old <<edit>> junk doesn't even have a VGA. (the PC)

I was going to fix the network card. (problably broken), but i want to check the driver routins. It's my friends PC

You could use a DVI to HDMI adapter/converter and connect one PC at a time to your single display.

If you have access to a HDTV, you could use it as a second display as well.

Easy on the "f bombs" please.

COLGeek :

I have a Gt 6600 with Vga. tried to swap cards, but it doesn't seem to work. Can i do something with the card?

USAFRet · Sep 23, 2014

What, specifically, are we needing to display that exists only on the PC with no HDMI output?

Bottom line, though...you can't get there from here.
Either a DVI - HDMI adapter
or
Move the data
or
Remote desktop into the DVI only PC (can't because potentially broken LAN adapter)
