Hi Guys, I've just bought a gaming pc. Here are the specs 

 

RAM: 16 GB / Storage: 1 TB SSD 
Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 8 GB 
 
Now it's not the best but it's not going to be doing so much only using for streaming. It has 1 HDMI & 2 display ports on the motherboard, well guessing it's on the MB being that they screw in right to where the wifi antennas would go. Download the graphics card software as it's a new graphics card/system. Just wanted to check. How can I set my pc to use the graphics card inputs, another HDMI and two DP? Or better still can you install it to give me two HDMI’s and 4 DP’s at the moment when plugging a monitor into the top HDMI or DP’s I'm getting no signal

So just to make sure I understand correctly, you're wanting to get a display signal out of both the graphics card outputs and the motherboard outputs, right?

 

In that case - what CPU do you have?

Your display needs to be plugged into the graphics cards ports, not the motherboards, typically when a graphics card is installed in a computer the iGPU ports(on the motherboard) are disabled. If you want to use both and your CPU has an iGPU you will need to enable the iGPU in Windows and also the Bios of your motherboard. To add, you did not list in your specs what processor you have, some processors don't have iGPUs at all so it's possible this is also the case with your system. Please list your CPU and we can let you know if what you want to do is even possible.
