Question Dual Monitor, different cables

[Natrium]

So im getting a new monitor, and im keeping my old one, which uses a HDMI port, my new one is going to use a DP port, is it okay to have two different cables hook up to my gpu? cause my gpu have hdmi and dp ports.

yes. I am using HDMI on one and DVI on the other.

Yes that's perfectly okay (provided your graphics card supports two or more monitors of course).

Do i need HDMI for both? cause when i plug my DP port in my monitor and into my pc, it says "no signal HDMI". But i only have one HDMI port.. Is there something i need to change in the settings of the monitor maybe?

I don't know why your DP doesn't work.

I don't know why your DP doesn't work.

also i heard there is some issues when you have a 60hz and a 144hz, like the 144hz changes to 60hz when you use the 60hz. I'll try again with the DP
