how do I know that my motherboard has hdmi port

I have no idea what that means but you can buy cards with multiple ports and multiple port types. I've seen that before.


Hi, towns,
your quote:

but that doesn't matter. They aren't compatible
what does that mean

What that means is if your monitor is a display port you can't plug it into a hdmi port on your card directly. There might be convertors but I haven't looked.

Sorry but I have no idea. I'd look for a card with 2 ports before trying that.

Splitting the signal is likely to degrade the Video signal to both monitors, possibly to a level that both monitor & TV produce poor pictures, (the longer cable will add to the degradation of the TV too)

This is why higher end cards have multiple output ports, as these are amplified at source to prevent degradation of the signal, this will also allow you to have different outputs on each screen, you could work or surf on the local monitor, whilst streaming a movie to the TV.

This is all speculation as it could well be, as already mentioned, that your PC is not of a high enough standard to drive two monitors

Hi, I have installed a new graphics card geforce nvidia 210 and disabled the oldcard and succeeded in what i want.
But the audio is playing onlyl o one mdeia either in pc or tv.
'i checked that in the playback options
if i enable , it gets ticked on oney one device.
is there any solution.
Moreover, , if i boot the pc with hdmi connected to tv, my pc does not boot but says check the signal
The tv is in off position. i enabled duplilcate when i send the sinal to tv
but when it is off, the computer does not boot probably because, it would be shown on the tv, which is in off position.
is there a fix for this

plese say the solutions
