Posted December 2, 2015 So I'm getting dual monitors this christmas, to be specific i am getting two Samsung Ls24d590. I have a gtx 760 and i just wondered what i would need to do to set it up etc, i know how to setup dual monitors in Windows and stuff but when i come to physically plugging them in I'm a little confused. Could someone please help me by telling me if i need any adapters or anything and where to plug it in etc. Thanks a lot and sorry if i am coming across as a noob haha.

Posted December 2, 2015 plug them both in to your GPU (it has 2 DVI outputs that will work nicely) Different PCPartPickers for different countries: UK-----Italy----Canada-----Spain-----Germany-----Austrailia-----New Zealand-----'Murica-----France-----India 10 minutes ago, Stardar1 said: Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing: Solitaire.

Posted December 2, 2015 You will need two HDMI cables and an adapter to either DVI or DP OR One HDMI cable and an adapter to DVI Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
