Dual GPU Issues

Current Specs: Ryzen 5 3600, MSI MPG x570 wifi, Corsiar Vengeance 16GB, GIGABYTE Geforce RTX 2060 6GB, MSI Geforce GTX 1050TI 4GB, Windows 10.

 

Summary: Trying to run dual monitors which only have hdmi but from everything I've read I would need a second gpu with the motherboard I am running. After reading up a bit I thought I might be able to run my 1050TI I had from an old build just for the second monitor. (I know all the hardware works as I have tested them on separate builds before posting this)

 

Issues: No matter how I configure the GPUs it always wants to run everything through the 1050TI. Most of the time I can't even get windows or Nvidia to recognize the 2060. I've tried booting UEFI as I read that sometimes fixes it but that just causes one monitor to freeze upon boot. Not sure what to do or if im just not able to run this hardware together properly?

That doesn't make sense, the GPU you have is more than capable of running more than 2 displays...

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

Complete BS. Unless your card doesnt have multiple HDMI there's zero need for another graphics card, and even then you could use a DP to HDMI cable so still zero need for another graphics card

How about just getting a displayport to hdmi adapter? Seems kinda silly to try and use 2 GPU's just to run two hdmi monitors.
