was just wondering how you connect two monitors to one pc if there is only one hdmi socket?

GTX 560ti
p8z68-v
obviously not using onboard graphics
and the monitors are
Asus VS247H 24" Widescreen LED Monitor
they have 1 hdmi slot

would you say i would get better quality with two hdmi's using one dvi to hdmi adapter?

lewis2701 · 25 Sep 2011 at 13:51

it says the card has two DVI-I slots and a mini hdmi port.

i know the motherboard has a hdmi slot but will that only use the onboard graphics card or will it use the gtx ?

and will there be no problems with my gtx 560ti using two monitors?

that's a really good point actually, so its either 3 monitors or 1 for gaming. i do a lot of video rendering and editing so that's why im after two monitors. is there a way i can use both for editing/general pc use and then switch it back to just the single monitor for when i game?

yeah i knew you needed 2 GPU's i didn't mean i was going to get 3 monitors i just meant that its either 3 or 1 for gaming because you cant use 2. but thanks you have been a great help.
