Question 3 video card input to 1 monitor

[adamszalai]

Hey there!

I have to upgrade my display aparate to something new, and not sure which monitor can handle 3 video card input
2 video card would be something rtx 30 or 40 series. and one video card would be geforce 1070
On this monitor:
Dell Ultrasharp U2718Q
https://www.displayspecifications.com/en/model/fed0d61
I see 3 video input:
1 HDMi 2.0
1 DisplayPort 1.2 (Input mini)
1 DisplayPort 1.2

Question is, can i connect both my 3 video cards to that monitor without problem? For example I don't know what Input mini means, and why it is on one of the DisplayPort 1.2, and not on another.

If do You have any info about any monitor that handles 3 video input without problem, please share the info

Thanks for the answers in advance!

"Input Mini" just means it is a Mini DisplayPort connector. Therefore you have 1 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort 1.2, and 1 Mini-DisplayPort 1.2 inputs. You would just need a DisplayPort to Mini-DisplayPort cable from your GPU. Otherwise it should be fine as most GPUs now come with 1 HDMI and 2 DisplayPort connections. I personally have connected my laptop via HDMI and desktop via DisplayPort to my monitor. All I have to do is change the input if I want to use one machine or the other.
