HDMI splitter, do they work ?

Hi. I have a 980ti that is connected to my monitor with dvi. I also have a tv in my livingroom and bedroom which were both connected to my old 680's via hdmi. The 980ti only has one hdmi and I don't really want to keep switching over the cable when I want to change what to I'm using. Is a hdmi splitter, to have them displaying on both tv's at once the way to go ? Or do they cause lag etc.

Thanks

You can use a dvi to hdmi cable.

My monitor is using the only Dvi. Unless I change and use display port for my pc

I would do that.

Cheers. I wouldn't have thought of that. I think I have a few dvi to hdmi adapted lying about

Only problem with DVI to HDMI is that you won't get the NVidia sound no? Might not be an issue if you have optical audio or another way to get the sound across?

Your right. I ended up ordering a displayport to hdmi connection instead as they transfer audio as well

You can get sound via the DVI to hdmi as I used this method to a receiver.

This works perfectly..

I've used two of them in the past for making 2x Sky video/sound connections to two TVs at the same time.

Never skipped a beat!

It plugs into the mains too btw.
