Question HDMI & Display Port Display Multi Monitor

[andrew_285]

I've got a pc setup which I have always had a multi monitor setup with HDMI coming from the graphics card to a monitor and one to a TV. I have recently purchased a new monitor which I also want to connect to however when plugging in via the display port there is no signal. I have downloaded the Nvidia control panel and the display isn't appearing as available.

Is it possible to connect HDMI & Display port at the same time? if so is there anything I need to enable first?

DisplayPort in GPU or motherboard?

Display port in GPU

Which GPU model is it? Some nVidia can only handle dual displays. Even though they have more ports.

Also try shutting down and also try using a different DisplayPort if there are multiple. I know my old one had one DisplayPort which doesn't work if HDMI is used. I guess the connection is shared between the ports. Also no DisplayPort was hot pluggable.

Its an Nvidia Geforce 1060 6gb Gaming X, has two HDMI & 2 Display Ports, I'll try turning it off, I have tried removing the HDMI and leaving the Display Port on but no signal still.
