Displays Connecting Secondary Monitor.

I have my primary monitor connected via DVI and have two HDMI and two Playport connections remaining/ Which should I connect my secondary monitor to?

 

Without knowing what versions/types of HDMI (version number), DVI (single-link, dual-link), Displayport (version) you are connecting i would go for Displayport.

 

This any help? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-204-OK

 

don't think it matters too much Kronos

 

Okay thanks. I will go have a root around the magic cable box and see what I have.

 

It's more what it's connecting too, but fuus is probably correct when he/she says it won't mater much.

It's just things like HDMI 1.4 maxes out at 3,820x2,160 30fps, or a DVI single-link is limited to 1,920x1,200, etc, etc.

 

Your dvi is dual link so you can connect pretty much anything to it if you have a dual link cable, dont connect more than a 1080p (16:9) monitor to HDMI, high res to display port. General rules should be all you need

 

I have connected the 24" secondary via HDMI and all is fine.

 

OK so why does it now show the secondary monitor (HDMI) as number 1 and the primary monitor (DVI) as number 2?

 

From what I gather those numbers mean very little as long as your primary display is set correctly in the Nvidia control panel. Look on the 'setup multiple displays' tab

 

Will do thanks.
