I don't reallu know how dualing monitors work, but tomorrow I'm picking up my second monitor due to personal references, and I'm wondering how do I do it if my graphics card only has 1 HDMI port, 1 DP and 1 DVI port.. the motherboard has an HDMI port which is not in use atm.

In addition to the above, you will need to enable the second display in your graphic card's control panel and then decide if you want to clone the displays or use them in extended mode.

We know what outputs the graphics card has. What we don't know is what graphic card output is currently being used and what inputs does the new display have.

Nothing special just plug a monitor into one port, and plug the other monitor into another port.
