Dual monitor connection problem (GTX 1050Ti)

[veikka.saarinen]

So, I have a Geforce GTX 1050Ti graphics card (which has 1x HDMI, 1x DP and 1x DVI I believe), and I'm trying to setup two monitors. The one I'm using currently uses a HDMI - HDMI cable and it works fine. With the other monitor I bought (Samsung model S24E510C) I got a DP - HDMI cable. When I plugged it in, it didn't detect it in my screen settings. Can anyone tell me why it doesn't find it?

I have enabled the dual monitor by pressing Windows + P.

EDIT: I tried to use the HDMI - HDMI with the new monitor, and it worked fine. After that I tried the new Displayport - HDMI cable with my current monitor, it didn't work on this one either. So either my brand new cable is not working or my graphics card isn't supporting HDMI and Displayport at the same time? Any ideas?

Thanks for your help

What if you just plug dp-HDMI cable with 1 monitor.

Seems like a cable issue if that doesn’t work.

You mention a HDMI to dp cable.
I do not know if the directionality of the cable matters, but what you want is a DP to HDMI cable.
This amazon link suggests that such a cable is unidirectional.

Yeah it doesn't work, I guess the new cable isn't working for some reason then. I'll try to get a new one.

Sorry for the mistake, I meant a DP - HDMI cable. It's a 3m Displayport to HDMI adapter cable from Deltaco. But do you mean I need a certain kind of cable for it to work? The monitor I have only has a HDMI slot which is why I needed the cable.
