Quick question about HDMI

[kantjd]

Hello everyone! I have a quick question about HDMI. Is it possible to have two HDMI TVs connected to a computer (with two different video cards, say, GTX 280s) or is there a technical limitation that would prevent this? thanks!

Video cards have supported multiple display outputs for years. Just as long as you buy DVI to HDMI converters (presuming your video card uses DVI instead of HDMI, as most cards do) then there's nothing stopping you from running two displays with one card.

Just keep in mind that you can't hook up multiple displays to one DVI port on the card. One DVI port on the video card runs one display. If you want to run four displays, then you need four DVI ports. But in your case, most cards come with two DVI slots by default, so you're good.

Thing is, this friend of mine has two of those VCs, each one with an HDMI adapter and two 50" LCD screens. The one connected to the primary video card works fine, the second one, does not stop flickering... and we have swapped both cards and disabled SLI with no positive results

You might try to use both ports from one card, get 2 HMDI to DVI adapters for one card, but still run in SLI for the GPU power.

Might need one of these
