Question about HDMI in port

[BlindGuyPCs]

On my motherboard there's an HDMI in port, but I can't fingure out how to use it, and searching it brings it no answers

 

My motherboard is a azrock z87 extreme4 with a GYX 1060, and I'm trying to run my Switch through it.

you cant use it when you have a gpu plugged into the motherboard

Go to BIOS and enable the iGPU.

 

Alsp why not ise the ports on the GPU?

Reading the manual, the A-Style HDMI In can be used only with the HDMI Out right next to it. So it only works with the iGPU, not with a discrete GPU.

Normally turning it on in the bios is what you do. If the board is crap then I guess you can’t. I do it on every single mobo.
