Hello,
I recently bought an ASUS gtx780 and have it connected to an Asus VK248H monitor, through a DVI cable for video and Audio cable, because this monitors has speakers.
Additionally, I have a TV in the next room, that I connect using a HDMI (That also have audio).

Each time I want to play in the Tv, I have to connect the HDMI and disconect the DVI cable and the audio cable and I use my wireless Keyboard and two xbox wireless controllers and everything works perfect. Then when I want to use the monitor in the computer room, I have to disconnect the Hdmi, connect the DVI and audio cable to use the monitor again.

Is there any way to optimize this, or let me work in both monitor and tv at the same time? maybe using a wireless keyboard and a wired one?
If I would like to play two different games in both places, how can I manage the sound, considering that one of the sounds come from the GTX780 and the other one from the Mobo.

Regards,
Kenneth

The main display will show the desktop and if two monitors are connected then there can be an extended desktop and you can switch the main display from the monitor to the TV in the Nvidia control panel so that you would not have to disconnect the cables every time.

The playing of two games is not possible , the video card does not generate sound it passes the sound from the motherboard to the monitor through the HDMI cable. If it was possible for a video card to display two games independently then you would need a sound card and the motherboard sound chip to work at the same time and independently as well. Simply not possible.
