setting up 2 monitors

danlightbulb · 6 Oct 2016 at 17:39

Hi guys,

Just going to temporarily set up a 2nd monitor on my pc tonight.

Current monitor is connected via dp to the gpu. Do I just plug in a hdmi to the gpu from 2nd screen - is it that simple?

Will the 2 screen setup allow me to have a game running on the main screen and windows on the 2nd one?

Thanks.

Yup, it's that simple. You control the displays via the GPU driver software.

Some games you will need to set to "windowed fullscreen" mode if you want to use things on the other desktop too. Or it will behave like you have alt-tabbed when you click off of the game.
