this isn’t a val problem but plz help
i have a gpu and my motherboard hdmi’s aren’t working
Solution:Jump to solution
Motherboard doesn’t do graphics since you have a gpu, it’s hdmi ports don’t work for graphic displays, because integrated graphics is off.
Your only option is to get a gpu with more hdmi ports, or get an adapter (USB-c to hdmi, USB-a to hdmi, etc).
If your GPU has a VGA or DP connection, you can also do that....

my GPU has a DP
can i use that?
hdmi to display port
ohhh
okie
If your monitor supports that, sure (or you can use DP to HDMI although it’s worse)
Or just DP to DP
i’m gonna get an hdmi to dp
ty
Check your monitor first.
Most monitors have HDMI & another port type like VGA or DP
Motherboard HDMI ports are for integrated graphics. If I recall correctly, if you have a separate GPU, your computer won’t run with integrated graphics although you might be able to enable it, it’ll use your GPU, so motherboard hdmi won’t work.
my gpu port works fine i’ve tested it
if that’s what you’re asking
i just want to be able to use 2 monitors with both hdmi
i was told that i can go into bios and enable something for it
but idk
Why specifically hdmi…?
all i have is hdmi
wait so
if someone doesn’t have a gpu
they’re just fucked?
like you can’t use a monitor if you don’t have a gpu?
No.
You use your motherboard.
The motherboard HDMI ports are for integrated graphics, graphics installed on cpu iirc.
GPU overrides that.
so in me having a gpu i can’t use my motherboard hdmi ports?
i read somewhere online you can enable both with Bios
but im scared of bios
cause i’ve never gone in it
can i do that?
If ur cpu has an igpu sure
Tho nothing will rly work with that
IDKKK 😭😭😭
i’m so lost
pcs are so complicatedddd
…you have a display port. Just use that, no?
But if you’re going to go through the trouble of getting DP to HDMI
…just buy a DisplayPort cable.
(Granted I’m assuming your monitor supports DP, if it doesn’t, buying DP to hdmi is valid, although it’ll be a bit worse iirc)
my monitor doesn’t have dp ::
does ur gpu have hdmi?
…
Reading the thread before trying to help truly must be difficult.
Then yeah get DP to HDMI and you’ll be fine.
oh shi didnt see that
