Hello everyone,

I have an HP Omen 30L Desktop with installed graphic card - NVIDIA® GeForce RTX™ 2060. I have 3 monitors that I want to connect but the graphic card only has 2 ports to connect the monitors. I would like to connect all 3 monitors to my desktop. I am unsure of what the solution might be? Should I upgrade my graphic card which has 3 display options? or connect a hub then connect it to USB-C? or should I remove the graphic card and then connect all 3 displays to the hub and then connect hub to USC-C on desktop. 

Please advise.

Best option would be to swap your GPU with one with 3 outputs.  Preferably 3xDisplay Ports as this is the latest interface in the PC world.

 

Hubs, docking station and such are for laptops that lack support for real dedicated GPUs

 

Also if you go with a new GPU that means that all 3 screens will be GPU accelerated. In simple terms you would be able to play games,videos etc with D3D, OpenGL, NVENC etc.

 

I have 3 screens too and use Nvidia Surround

Which GPU do you have? I even thought of buying a HDMI Splitter that can be used as an alternate cheaper option

I have an old 1060 that works fine with my HP Z400. Planning to upgrade soon.

 

Hdmi splitters don't work, unless you wanna split the same image on multiple monitors.

 

New GPU is your best option and there is no real workaround
