Hey! I'm thinking of getting a PC with a Nvidia 1060 6GB. It has 1x HDMI, 3x Display Ports and 1x DVI. I want to run 2x 24 Inch 1080p monitors with HDMI. Since the graphics card has only got 1x HDMI port, there is no where to put the other HDMI. I have read up that you can use the motherboards HDMI port as long as you re-enable it in the BIOS. Can the motherboard HDMI still use the 1060s power? Is this true or do I need an adapter?
 
Solution
I believe it will be using integrated graphics, either on your motherboard or CPU. I use the VGA on my motherboard for a second monitor and it uses the integrated graphics of my Intel CPU.

But you should be able to buy a display port to HDMI adapter or cable.
