First, what are the outputs on your graphics card? If you have an HDMI and a display port out, you SHOULD be able to use this adapter plus 2 HDMI cables to run dual screens. One HDMI cable from the graphics card to the primary monitor. Second, you plug this adapter into your graphics card display port out. You plug the second HDMI cable into the adapter and second monitor. Hardware wise this should work, however you would still need to tell your operating system (such as windows) to run two screens. In windows 10: Right click on desktop Display settings In the multiple displays section hit detect if they aren't showing up Keep in mind these adapters take display port signal and convert them to HDMI passively. It will not work to convert HDMI to DP, that would require an active (powered) adapter.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.More than likely it has display ports, and if you use lower cost monitors that have HDMI, you can just purchase: Insignia™ - DisplayPort-to-HDMI Adapter - Black, or similar to convert. I bought two of these for my two monitors since the video card only had 1 HDMI port.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Depending on your video card, you may need to go into it's control panel and activate the other monitor.
