I'm trying to make a dual monitor setup

[zoentri]

I have one monitor i want to connect by dvi-d and one through hdmi. Will this work?

Yeah it will work, as long as you have the appropriate ports on your graphics card.

You can buy a HDMI to DVI-d cable if there are limitations on ports by the way
Couple of adapters to help the scenario - doesn't mean it will deliver the performance - adapters always lower performance as much as they help you achieve one goal

I never know, why people use two or three monitors for their gaming needs.

For me: 1 monitor to play games, 2nd one for Discord or browsing.

In some games I use the second monitor for watching movie if the game allows it (eg relaxing games where I don't need a 100% focus).

I mainly use my second monitor for browsing whilst watching a film etc. I don't dual monitor for games but triple monitor setups look like a good way of adding immersion to racing games and shooters. Though ultra wides are getting more available these days. Not sure which I'd prefer. I think you get more screen real estate on a triple monitor.

It makes such a difference when you can game on one monitor and browse on the other. Even when I'm not gaming I'll usually have Youtube/Netflix etc open on one monitor and browse on the other.

My setup right now is 4 monitors! Although 2 of them are strictly work related. For productivity 2 monitors are my absolute minimum.

Do Dual Monitors Improve Productivity?

If you're using dual monitors for work, you may swear that an extra screen helps boost your productivity. Let's look at a few studies and see if this is true.
