Are both cables connected to the GPU? Also, what is your exact 1050ti?

Hi tq for the reply I'm using a vga splitter to hdmi

Does the monitor have an HDMI port? The splitter could be the problem, if both monitors are connected to the 1050ti.

A Y-cable will send the same video to both screens.

To show different things on two monitors, you need two separate cables - one for each monitor. (The exception is Displayport which can sometimes be daisy-chained. e.g. PC plugged into monitor, second monitor plugged into first monitor.)

If you're running from a single video output all you'll get is a mirrored/duplicated screen.

To run 2 seperate screens you need to use 2 different outputs.

I can't understand how anyone would assume anything else

No two of my monitors have dvi and VGA ports only so two of my monitors r connected to one hdmi port to put connect to my graphics card

your video card has 1 dvi, 1 hdmi, and 1 DP. Plug one monitor in with just a dvi cable, and the other monitor with a DP or HDMI to dvi cable. Each monitor has to have its own cable coming from a port on the video card. you cant use any splitters/ y cables
