[SOLVED] Can a single HDMI GPU run two monitor with a splitter?

[churro16]

Hey guys, I'm back to ask a question. Is it possible to run two BenQ monitors with a single port HDMI GPU?

I'm currently using a GTX 1070 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0 which only consist of one HDMI port. Which was a wrong move on my part, the mad sale got to me
By using a splitter, like this one from eBay:

Would this harm the Graphics card in any way or cause it to not allow the monitor to turn on?

It won’t harm anything but both screens will display the same image. You won’t be able to extend the desktop over both and have different things on each displays.

Your card has DisplayPorts and a DVI-D port. You could just use an adapter/cable for your second display.

Ok never thought of that thanks
Does that allow me to use the other monitor for any use, like browsing?

Yes. You will just need to run in Extended mode.
