Two monitors and only one HDMI port!

[Rayzer_116]

Hi I've run into a problem, I have the XFX R9 390 Black Edition GPU and a LG 25UM57-P Ultrawide monitor. The 390 only has one HDMI port and the monitor has only HDMI inputs but I was planning on getting another one of the same monitor so should I get an adapter for it? Or can I run two monitors from the same port?

Thanks

Would one of these work?

The second one says that it only supports 1080p but my monitor is 2560x1080 not 1920x1080?

I'm planning to get the same monitor, and I'm also planning to hook it up to a r9 390 as well.

Can I ask how did it go for you? Do the monitors work fine at 2560x1080 at 60hz via HDMI 1.4a, or are they limited to 1920x1080 at 60hz?

Hi, sorry I won't be much help but I'm just staying with one because the DisplayPort to HDMI cable I got didn't support 2560x1080, only the cable that came with the montior worked (HDMI to HDMI) at 60hz. So on HDMI they work fine, but I'm not sure how to get two working in sync.

I see. Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for the feedback!
