I just opened up my PC today to check for loose wires, its been shutting off randomly since I built it a month ago, and it hasn't gone over 50 Celsius. But that's not why I'm here, I noticed my GPU had 2 HDMI ports on the back, I couldn't find anything online about it, and the specs say there's only 1 HDMI port. Here's a picture, its the 2 orange plugs. Anyone know what they're for, or why they're there? I was going to try plugging a monitor in, but its just way to tight and not very practical. Could be useful I guess, since I have 3 monitors, and none have display ports.

Hmm, usually the output ports for display are on the other side of the graphics card, on the back of your computer case. Are you sure you are showing us the right picture? All I see in orange are SATA ports on the motherboard.

Update*
Never mind saw a screenshot from Gigabyte's site. Those are HDMI ports. Seem kind of hard to get to though.
 
Geto - Weird I looked on the gigabyte sight, and where I bought it from, didn't notice the part it mentioned HDMI ports for VR. Just saw the regular blah blah display, and 1 HDMI.

Musen - Yeah that's what I thought, it was difficult to even get the orange plug out.
 
Hmm I thought I saw a youtube video where there was a prebuilt PC or case that allowed the HDMI ports to be shown from the front. That's the only reasonable thing I can think of anyways.
 
Probably, could even do it on your own, just get some short cables, then have an female to female adapter, and somehow get it to act as a panel on the back. They probably even have them.
