[A Spicy Noodle]

My gpu has 4 hdmi and 1 dvi-d slots and my monitor has 2 hdmi and a vga. How do I connect the monitor to the gpu should I use 2 hdmi cables?

Also my monitor is connected to my motherboard currently using one of those shorter dvi cables but it doesn’t get signal. Did I damage my motherboard or anything? Please help

Can you post a photo of that "not as big dvi"?
What are model names of your GPU and monitor?

Generally you connect using a single cable - either hdmi or dvi (or display port or dsub).

Monitor is a benq gw2270 and gpu is a gigabyte GeForce gtx 1050 ti oc 4gb

This GPU? It has DVI-D, 3x HDMI and DP connection.
Gw2270 monitor specs says - DVI and D-SUB connections are available. May be you got wrong model number.

Anyway - connect using DVI-D cable, if your monitor has DVI,
or HDMI cable, if your monitor has HDMI.

On the pc it says gw22770 so I don’t think so and only vga or hdmi is available and aren’t vga and d sub the same?

First you said Benq gw2270 and now gw22770. So witch is it?
Are there any additional letters in the model name? Like H, HM, HE, HZ ?

I have my gpu in my motherboard and I connected the monitor to the motherboard but it doesn’t detect any signal why is this happening? Does inserting a gpu cause the motherboard one not to work unless I somehow switch it?

Presence of discrete gpu automatically disables integrated gpu.
Usually you can enable it in BIOS settings.

BTW - inputs on monitor VGA + 2x HDMI correspond to model GW2270HE.

I just connected a hdmi cable on my gpu and monitor it said no cable detected?

Try a different HDMI port on gpu. Resart your pc after you switch hdmi port.

I have tried that but it still says no cable connected

Try switching video inputs on monitor with monitor buttons.
It probably complains about VGA connection. Switch it to HDMI.

How do I change the input? The only buttons are the ones beside the power button on the monitor
