Daisy chaining multiple displayport monitors to a asus z87 pro mobo pc

[bethy1234]

Hi guys,
i have a dell 3008 wfp monitor connect via displayport to an asus z87 pro pc. I have just bought an additional displayport monitor,a Philips BDM4065UC.

My specific problem is that the mobo only has one displayport out socket, not two, so i am wondering if you can help me figure out how to connect both DP monitors to my pc.

thanks for looking

Andy

Hi do you have a hdmi port on computer could use that. What other ports do you have on computer?

Hi there,

yes it has an hdmi port as well, i am temporarily using that hdmi port to drive the second dell display, but the highest resolution that i can get on that is 1920* 1200. i don,t think hdmi can output a higher resolution than that. I also have dvi-d and dsub, but they won,t support higher than 1920*1200 either.

i've got a feeling that i may have get one of these :-

Multi Stream Transport Hub – DisplayPort 1.2 to Triple Head DisplayPort MST Hub

i cannot think of any alternative plan.

that could work but if your display port is 1.1 then it going to act as a splitter which will show only whats on the first monitor. so make sure you have the 1.2 display port
