Will 2 HDMI cables improve performance?

[Abzilla]

Hi, I have a 1080 Ti for a 1080p monitor, yes, I know don't remind me. Would I gain even more performance from the card if I have 2 HDMI cables plugged into the monitor? Thanks

I don't see how it logically would give you more performance, the monitor can only display one input at a time and using more outputs on the GPU draws performance (next to nothing but still)

If the resolution is true 240hz or higher multiple inputs can reach that true refresh rate, pointless if not

remind you of what?

only if your monitor explicitly says it needs it (to either drive higher resolution than what a single link can transmit, or higher refresh rate)

or else, no difference (or even unnecessary)

Correct, but he didn't say the model so I was just wondering

Normally a monitor would ask you to use displayport before asking you to use 2x HDMI

 

That's a thing I've seen on TV, not on monitors

And super bleeding edge TVs that have features that surpass one HDMI cable bandwidth and doesn't have displayport

The dell 8k needs 2 displayport 1.4 so lols, not practical but a dream for video editors

No, your monitor uses only on input at a time so if youll connect another HDMI cable youll just be able to switch input and still see the same thing, but if you dont have 2 HDMI cables going into the same input then it leterally wont do anything to your prefornece beacuse youll be onlu using one of them at the same time.
