Plug them into the ports on the video card. Done.

I think he's asking which two ports he should be using for the two monitors. Not sure that it matters but I would use hdmi+dp

Bro chill. Same with AMD. Why would it be complicated? Only matters if you want to set up an eyefinity or Nvsurround which you probably don't since  you only have 2 monitors.

Just plug shit in.  It's the same for every video card that supports multiple displays ever.

you.. just plug it in and it works.. it has been that easy since video cards had two outputs

 

you may have to configure which one is left and which one is right. if i had one complaint about nvidia drivers it would be that they magically ALWAYS get it backwards for me... (i've had cases where i literally swapped two identical monitors around on a desk to get it to detect correctly, technology at its best)

if you want a fat gaping bezel in the middle be my guest. Instructions remain the same for the most part except you also need to go into the drivers and set up surround,

nvidia surround is for playing games on multiple monitors at once, not really practical with two monitors, i think you mean that you want to drag programs from one screen to the other?

i thought you meant a 6-screen setup with the big TV's, i dont even think anyone makes mounts that can hold two of those

yeah no, just one tv

as big as a 6 screen monitor setup but with no bezels, and a nice curve instead of angled flat panels

 

some people have done triple tvs, but at that point you have to sit so far that it looks like a squat triple screen setup again

 

if someone wants something bigger than one tv they should probably just buy a 4k projector and curved white wall
