I've seen several people say or imply this in the past. But I have an
ignorant question I am almost too embarrassed to ask (almost). Most
normal cards have only one connector of each type. So how are you
plugging in 2 monitors -- one into the HDMI and one into the DisplayPort
/ DVI / whatever connector??? Or do you use a special cable that plugs
into one connector at the card end and splits into 2 at the monitor end?
Would that even work? (I would have expected not)
