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.
