Support NeoGAF

[NecrosaroIII]

I'm transitioning to remote work starting next week. To better facilitate this, I want to run three monitors like we do at the office.

Here is what I'm running:

i7-6700k processor
16 gb ram
GTX 970

From what I've read online, my GPU should be able to support up to 4 displays... but I don't know how to plug 4 in. I have a Displayport and HDMI port.

You can always use USB to HDMI

I don't know the ins and outs of new computers but 3 monitors should be possible.

No DVI port ?

Yes, still used today, what model of 970 are you using ?

 

[bitbydeath]

HDMI splitter?

 

[TheContact]

Does your onboard have any outputs? You can use both that and the gpu at same time

You have enough outputs for 4 monitors if you want, buy 2x DVI-D to HDMI from Amazon.

Was about to say, I was running a 970 until last year, I was pretty sure none of them have only 2 outputs.

Thanks for making me feel old though op.

just get some DVI cables / adapters for those printer port thingies there!

Yep, you can use those DVI outputs. I used them before with adapters, they work fine.

 

[HoodWinked]

Damn those DVI ports are invisible to zoomers.

Damn those DVI ports are invisible to zoomers.

They look like those old massive printer ports for millennials

DVI-D is father of both HDMI and DP

Your 6700K also has a integrated GPU which you can use in conjunction with your 970, so you can also use the display connectors directly on the motherboard if you don't want to buy DVI adapters.
