hello 

i am trying to get my tv display to work as my third display with no results

 

currently i have display 1 and 2 plugged in hdmi to my graphics card (asus gtx 1070)

 

because i only have more extra hdmi cables and not display cables i connected the third disaplay to the actual mother board hdmi slot and it seems it is not receiving anything.

The motherboard HDMI slot is not useful unless your CPU has onboard enabled graphics. Same applies to the motherboard. Use a DP to HDMI

Use Displayport and use the outputs of your graphicscard

75% of what I say is sarcastic

 

So is the rest probably

You're going to need to use your GPU, unless your CPU and BIOS support using the iGPU and a dGPU at the same time. Just grab a cheap adapter.
