I'm going to be adding an outboard graphics card to my PC. It has,
one each, a DVI-D, a displayport, and and HDMI port. My two monitors
both have DVI-D ports. I know I will need to get an adapter cable of
some sort to connect the second DVI-D monitor to either one of the
other ports. Which one would be best the displayport or the HDMI?
FYI, my second monitor also has a VGA port that is currently how it
is driven.



Hi Tim,


Tip: both HDMI adn D-Port will carry digital sound. Windows
Nein (w10) will pick only one. It may even pick you analog
sound card on your motherboard. If you go into control panel,
sound, you can choose which one you want.

And Tip: you have to go into your monitor setup using those annoying
menu buttons on your monitor and tell it your sound source is digital.

I personally adore my Yamaha speakers.

I won't have that problem since neither of my monitors have speakers. I
have a quite nice 5.1 speaker setup using the MOBO sound ports.
