Hey Guys,

I was caught in a bit of a pickle, I got 2 of these monitors BenQ GW2270H 21.5" LED Monitor, and this graphics card Galax GeForce GTX 1070 Ti EX Sniper White 8GB... can someone please help me connect both screens?

The Galax only has 1 HDMI and a DVI and the monitors have 2 HDMI and a Dsub..... is there any way to connect both screens? or am I just screwed?

Get a HDMI to DP adapter for one of them, they normally only cost 5-10(insert currency) for a decent one.

Check ebay if you are not in a dead rush for it then. Really should be able to get one for 5 shipped from Hong-Kong. The conversion is passive, and I have had great luck with cheapo display adapters with no noticeable loss in quality and the like.
