Afternoon Everyone,
Wonder if you can give me your thoughts.
I've currently bought a desktop c/w graphic card PNY QUADRO K2200 - 4GB GDDR5, 640 CUDA Cores - 2 x DP, 1 x DVI for some CAD and 3D work.
I'm looking at buying a couple of 24" monitors and i'm keen to hook them up using the displayport inputs. Options are slightly more limited if i exclude HDMI & DVI only monitors but this is the route i'd like to go down.
First Question:
- If i were to go down the HDMI (or DVI) monitor to Displayport input is there any drawbacks crossing over? I've read a lot of posts that state there would be none, as they are both digital signals and that HDMI is just a more suited connection to TVs etc but do you have anything more definitive?
Second Question:
- The graphics card has 2 off displayport inputs on the card. Is the any merit in having one cable to the card and then daisy chaining of that primary monitor. Or is it better to have both monitors connected independently with 2 off cables straight to the graphics card. I'm considering buying 2 off Dell U2415 monitors (and have also looked at the Dell U2515H but i think 24" 16:10 aspect ratio is what i'm after).... so daisy chaining a U2415 monitor with 1920 x 1200 resolution on displayport 1.2 should allow upto 4 monitors from one input? (from what i've googled) or a maximum of 2 off monitors per input...totalling 4 monitors (i think)
Thanks in advance
