Setting up 2 Monitors

[TheSixtyJohn]

I have 1 gigabyte GTX 970 and 2 VN247H -P monitors (Ok. I dont really have them. but I'm setting an example here). Can anyone give me a brief explanation on how to connect the video card to the 2 monitors? Or can the gtx 970 even support dual monitors?

Plug both monitors in and you should be good to go

For more options, relative position etc. you can right click on the desktop, go to NV control panel and "Set up multiple displays".

The 970 will have at least one DVI-I, one HDMI 2.0, and three DisplayPort 1.2 connectors. All you have to do is connect your monitors to their respectable ports on the card and you should be good to go. The monitor you chose has DVI and HDMI so you can use the HDMI from your card on one of the monitors and DVI on the other. They both transmit the same quality but HDMI also transfers sound.

Thanks. Btw ... you have some pretty sweet specs

If you want more options, try displayfusion. It's a really good bit of software that fixes a lot of the issues windows has with multi monitor support and adds a bunch of really good features. You can even get it on steam!

I have Actual Multiple Monitors which, IMO, works a lot better than Displayfusion.

I also have actual multiple monitors too, 4 in fact. DisplayFusion adds options for managing large screens, manaing wallpapers/screensavers, managing desktop icon profiles and more. It's not essential but it is good!

I think you misunderstood. I meant the application called "Actual Multiple Monitors" which does all of the things you mentioned and more

Oh cool, I didn't realise that! I'll look it up, thanks for the recommendation.
