Yes, I already know this is a bad setup, but its what I currently got, due to this pandemic.

Spec's-
i7 -4990k cpu
16gb ram
2 titan x's with SLI bridge
32'' 1080p monitor / 43" Vizio TV

Problem-
I have tried both screens being main and seeing if windows will detect the 2nd. I don't have a HDMI splitter so that would be out of the question. I know both HDMI's work cause i can only select one screen showing output with only 1 box. I only have 2 standard HDMI's.

How can I get windows to show both both screens? cause i am all out of idea's. I have tried multiple forums / websites, but most of them say it requires a HDMI splitter. and the Titan X only has 1 standard HDMI port. and 3 other video ports.
 
Solution
Your monitor likely supports DVI or DP. I would use that output (and associated cable) from your titans to drive the monitor and then use the HDMI cable to drive the TV. Although some TVs are shipping with DP (not many and probably not a vizio, but some.)
