Hi all, sorry for the beginner question here.
I've been using a PC to run Resolve for a while with a GTX 1080 and of course the PC has onboard video I've never used as I've always had both of my monitors plugged into the 1080. I've never really seen Resolve use the GPU much and then I just stumbled upon a comment Dwayne made on a recent thread:
If you plug the display into the GPU, by default, Resolve will use that to drive the GUI, and use the Intel GPU for processing. You want the Intel GPU driving the GUI, so Resolve uses the NVIDIA GPU for processing.
I'm wondering if that's my issue. OK so doing what he says is fine, I can plug one of my monitors into my monitor's onboard graphics and not into the 1080. BUT... where do I plug the second monitor? Only have one HdmI port on the mobo. Can I plug it into the 1080 or do I need to buy another graphics card to connect it and leave the 1080 alone?
Thanks!!
