[SOLVED] Dual-display on this graphics card

[crash1011]

So I'm getting my niece a new graphics card, she wants this one for the looks. Trouble's ASUS for some reason's put in three different display interfaces, read you need display port to get G-Sync so what the heck happens when you've got two 144MHz monitors and only one display port?

so far G-Sync will work over HDMI 2.1 for certain G-Sync Compatible televisions, mostly new LG versions.
but i haven't seen any monitors that advertise offering it yet.

kind of a bad idea to get a card without verifying that it has the proper connection(s) available.
i would return it and get a compatible version.

if you mean a GSync Monitor, both DP and HDMI will work just fine on High Refresh Rate, just make sure to turn on VRR on graphics settings on windows. But if you mean G Sync Compatible Monitor (Freesync Monitor), then HDMI wont make the G Sync work, just DP.

@JohnBonhamsGhost, haven't bought it yet but my niece is insisting on that card. Honestly not sold on it myself.

@Koekieezz, I'm looking at this list and they all say display port, but you're saying they'll work fine on HDMI anyway? Those are G-Sync Monitors, not just G-Sync Compatible right?

you can alter the sorting of the "Variable Refresh Input" column of the list to show HDMI grouped.
all of those listed are LG TVs.

Damn, so this card's a non-starter. Guess I've got what I need to change her mind, thanks for everyone's advice.

if it's just the non-black color scheme that appeals to her i'm sure you could find a few more GTX 1660 S out there with a more "girly" theme.

check Zotac, PNY, MSI, Gigabyte, AsRock, Powercolor, EVGA, & ASUS again on their store pages and see what variants may be available.
i know a lot of them have come in white at least.

It's about the color scheme alright, she thinks my old plain black Zotac sucks. Don't know what ASUS was thinking with the ports, card looked nice at least.

EDIT: Just did a search for 1660 Supers/Tis in white, this is the only one that came up, and it's still got the same weird mix of ports. What's going on here?
