GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Dual Monitor

SimpleMinded666 · Mar 5, 2017

I've searched and haven't found a good answer to my issue so here I am. As title says, I'm looking to set my PC up with dual monitors. Problem is the gcard has 1 HDMI, 1 Displayport, and 1 DVI-D (Dual link). The 2 monitors I have each have 1 HDMI and 1 VGA. So do I need to get adapters or should I return the monitor I just bought and find one that has a Displayport ot DVI-D (DL)? Prolly a dumb question and the answer is prolly right in front of me, but any help is appreciated. Thanks.

you can buy a displayport to hdmi converter

also there is a dvi to hdmi converter

you can use a dvi to vga converter

all of those works well

i personally use alot dvi to vga

now, some monitors and technologies, also refresh rates will give you problems over vga, dvi and hdmi, most people ask for display port

it is your call in the end

I would assume that the displayport to hdmi would be the better option?

velocityg4 · Mar 5, 2017

Yes, DisplayPort to HDMI is the best option. As it does both audio and video. You can also just get a DP to HDMI cable. That way you won't have a dongle sticking out. Plus, you can choose a different cable length.

Would a HDMI splitter work. I have the same issue. one of my monitors is connected to the motherboard with a DVI cable the 2nd is connected with a VGA cable, and both are connected to the GPU with HDMI cables that go into a HDMI splitter. However I cant get it to extend mode its stuck as duplicate

the plitter should require electricity to make it work, also will just duplicate the same image on two monitors or tvs
