Question Problem with daisy-chaining two monitors to a GTX 3060 Ti GPU ?

[Om1987]

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to set up a dual-monitor configuration by daisy chaining two monitors. Here’s my setup:

• Main Monitor: Connected to my GTX 3060 Ti GPU via DisplayPort.
• Second Monitor: Connected to the main monitor using an HDMI to USB-C cable.

The second monitor does not work in this setup. However, when I connect the main monitor to my laptop using a Thunderbolt cable, the second monitor works as expected, so I suspect the issue is related to the GPU’s DisplayPort output or my connection setup.

My GTX 3060 Ti does not have a USB-C output, so I’m limited to DisplayPort and HDMI.

Is there a way to make this configuration work? Are there specific settings I need to enable on the monitors or GPU to make this work?
Any advice on how to resolve this is greatly appreciated

List your monitors Make/Model#.

Odds are its USB-C port is not a video out port.

The USB-C port is working when connected to the laptop. However when I connect the DisplayPort cable to the DisplayPort on the PC, the second monitor is not working.

Check the first DP cable and make sure is 1.2 compatible or higher, multi-stream transport or MST started at Display port 1.2. Try with DP 1.4 certified, short (max. 1.5m) cable

Cables do not affect things like this.

Do you think it should work or I am doing anything wrong?

Could just be a monitor limitations, maybe the USB-C port can only daisy-chain from the USB-C input, not the DP input.
