Question Total newbie trying to connect two monitors to one computer. (Problem)

[Vlad5995]

Hello, everybody. I have two monitors iiyama (https://iiyama.com/gl_en/products/prolite-xub2395wsu-b1/), totally same one. My display adapter is only one - 'NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070". So I was wondering how can I connect two monitors with one adapter. Both my monitors have HDMI, VGA and DVI adapters, but only displayable monitor is going to be which connected via HDMI and since I have only one HDMI port in my PC , I can't make displayable my second monitor . I tried to connect second monitor connect with VGA or DVI , but it doesn't want to be displayed or detected by my windows. What am I missing ? Please with simple words/language and sorry for my english. Thanks

You mention having inputs on your monitor with HDMI, VGA and DVI. What's stopping you from using HDMI from both the GPU? Can you please pass on a link to the GPU you currently own?

Once the second monitor is plugged into the GPU - you then have to set it up on Windows.
Right Click Desktop
Display Settings
you should then see 2 monitors - and then select Multiple displays - extend

If you don't see 2 monitors, click DETECT
if you still don't see 2 monitors then there is another problem we would have to sort out.
