Dumb Question: Does something go back here?

[MillionHitz]

Uh, is there a cable that I use to connect the GPU to the display? If so, what kind is it? I can't seem to find it anywhere in my part boxes.

Could you supply us with a picture or two?

 

The HDMI, VGA, DVI, or DP cable for your monitor should have came with the monitor.

You need those cables. Hdmi Displayport, VGA, DVI.

You will have different ports on the back of your gpu. These may be: DVI, HDMI, Display Port, VGA. Look for a common connecter that is on both the back of the gpu and back of the monitor and use that cable.

 

DVI

 

HDMI

 

Display Port

The cable would either come with a monitor or have to be purchased separately. The connector would be HDMI, DVI, mDP, VGA or DP. Below are some examples.

Yes. There are a good number of options.

If you have a graphics card in your PC the video output should be from the graphics card and not from the motherboard.

 

So one of the ports (HDMI/VGA/DVI) on the back of your graphics card should be going to your monitor.

What cord do I need?

And do I need to plug into both of the outputs on my GPU?

You need a DVI cable

[MillionHitz]

You need a DVI cable

Does it need a spliter to connect to both DVI connectors?

[Victor Golf]

Does it need a spliter to connect to both DVI connectors?

Nope. You just need one cable.

The other port on the card is for plugging more monitors if you want them.

also in the imgur picture, the VGA cable is plugged into the on board graphics. Most gpu's come with vga to dvi adapter in the box, use that and plug it into the dvi slot on your gpu.
