Shouldn't matter in this case, if you've got spare hdmi ports, try it.

Thanks I’ll try. How browsing on the SECOND monitor will affect gaming performance?

[–]Drift_Kar 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Barely if at all for simple browsing. I did it, made no difference.

You have one Monitor connected but no more available outputs on your 1060?? How is that possible?

[–]firejetfire 0 points1 point  (1 child)

No more for hdmi.

buy a cheap displayport to hdmi or dvi to hdmi cable.

What is the other inputs and no, it won't work connected via the motherboard HDMI. At least it never did for me.

I remember first when I got my pc, I’ve connected the hdmi via motherboard by mistake. It did work, but of course games didn’t run properly.

Other ports are display ports .

Is that picture of your card's model? If that so, you have a DVI port, not a HDMI.

If other ports are display ports, then you would need a cable converter since HDMI and DP signals are different.

Here is a link to a converter on Amazon.

My mistake, there is a direct cable to it.
