Yes you can but it will NOT be powered by your 1050ti. 

Just get  DVI or DP to HDMI adapter.

Hello people, so I currently have 1 monitor for my pc which only has 2 HDMI and 1 VGA port. And the GPU I have is 1050 Ti which has 1 HDMI, 1 DVI, 1 DP port. I wanted to have another monitor display and the other monitor is the same as the one I'm currently using. Problem is as I explained the monitor only has 2 HDMI and 1 VGA. While my GPU has only 1 HDMI which is currently in use by the first monitor. Point is, Can I plug a HDMI cable for my second monitor to my Motherboard's HDMI port ? My mobo is Gigabyte GA-H110M-Gaming 3. Thanks and pardon my English, it isn't my main language.

I don't think so. The mob ports will be running off the iGPU, and your computer will reusing the dGPU (1050 Ti). I'm pretty sure you can only use one or the other.

Some/most motherboards have the option, but it needs to be turned on in the BIOS.

Yes, but know one thing. You will not be able to get the same graphics power out of your IGPU, so use that monitor for anything not gaming orientated. And you will need to activate it.

exactly correct. you will need to enable the iGPU in your BIOS (called multi-monitor support?) to use the on-board ports.

Spot on. You will need to select Onboard Device Configuration, and then Intel Multi-Display (may vary from BIOS to BIOS).
