Can this setup run dual monitors?

[Noah M]

Hello, I was wondering if this build could run dual monitors. Also, how can you tell that it can run dual monitors? Thanks!

if it's a 1080 you can connect more than 2 monitors perhaps

Your 1080 supports up to 5 monitors. It has 2 HDMI, 2 Display Port and one DVI-D port on the back of the card. You will be able to have 5 monitors connected to the card so you will be fine with 2. You can tell by looking at the end of the card which goes where you remove the expansion slots on the back of the case.

Good luck and hope this helps!

Yup, you can run two monitors with just about any card, let alone a GTX 1080. I mean, if you try to game on dual 4K monitors or something you're going to get bad performance, but it would still work.

Ummmm? No? HDMI is the name of the port and the name of the cable. I'm fairly certain the don't differ in type like DVI cables do. E.g DVI-D, DVI-I

There are five output ports but I believe the number of simultaneous monitors is still 4. And the total simultaneous resolution also factors into the number of monitors supported.
