i already got 2 displays connected to my video card but i got a new monitor from someone and i want to connect it to my pc but i dont have any more ports available so i got the idea of getting a hdmi to usb adapter and connect it that way but i dont know if it will work...
will love to hear your answers, thank you in advance
 
Solution
You either need DisplayPort to DisplayPort, given your new monitor has DisplayPort or active DisplayPort converter to any port that your new monitor supports.
