Need help with hdmi's.

Go to solution Solved by odzh,

Ok, a little edit on this one.

I finally manage to work things out ... at the end solution was very easy. How come i was so stupid not to see that.

Instead of working on hdmi ports and stuff, i just had to switch to Displayport cables and 1 HDMI to Displayport cable.

So now i can run all my monitors on gaming pc, also i have a slot for my elgato hdmi slot. 

I ordered cables and will post some news.

 

Why i post so much? So if somebody is the same way I am (stupid with these type of things) can find solution to the problem.

 

Here is an image of how i worked things around and will be switching things up.

Hello,

Need a little help from you guys,

i got my 2 pc's and i can't figure out what to buy,so i can put my 3 monitors and also connect elgato to it.

I also own ps4 but i don't use it near pc.

Anyway.. i made a little drawing, so you guys could understand what I search or do i need.

 

This is how it looks right now, at the exact moment.

HDMI does not support multiple independent monitors on a single port.

So if i bought THIS thing.

Will i be able to get something like this working?

 

On gaming pc i got 2 hdmi slots free, one for elgato hdmi and one for hdmi splitter.

see the image to clarify.

Ok, i got the splitter to test out. That didnt work out,as i pluged in it , I realise that the splitter only works as a mirror puting 1 monitor signal in to two, mirroring the same on both monitors. Sadly.

How can i get couple more hdmi ports? I got only 2 hdmi ports,need 3 / 4 total. 

Any sugestions? Would like not to buy another GPU for my pc, that would be a waste of money.
