I'm helping my uncle purchase PC for Forex and have a quick question.

I was going to recommend him this:

Acer with Radeon R9 360: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883101618
2x Dell U2415: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NZTKOQI

Here is an image of the back of the PC:



It has 2 HDMI outputs that appear to be from the mobo? And in what appears to be the graphic card, it has a DVI output and what I think is another HDMI output?

The monitors do not accept DVI and only accept HDMI and DisplayPort.

--
My question is, will two of those monitors work fine w/ the PC? That is to say, will they run in dual mode through some combination of 2 of the HDMI outputs on the PC (either both in the mobo outputs or 1 in the mobo 1 in the GPU)?

The fact that the HDMI outputs are coming from the mobo instead of the GPU is what I'm concerned about. Are they somehow attached to the video card?

And if not, can anyone recommend a prebuilt PC under ~$600 with similar specs that will have compatible video outputs for those monitors?

Dope so if I just do one HDMI cable from GPU to monitor and then get one of those adapters and connect to the DVI it will work fine? There any quality downside to using an adapter like that?

yes and no

dvi is equal to hdmi, no sound though

As long as one has sound it should be fine. Thanks for the help.

Out of curiosity, what's the deal with the 2 HDMI outputs on the mobo? I looked at another version of basically the same PC but with integrated graphics instead and it only had 1 HDMI output from the mobo.

Oh and also, is that second output on the graphics card definitely an HDMI? I'm fairly sure but wanted to double check it isn't a DisplayPort or something (pretty sure it's shaped differently).

yeah its hdmi



prob harder for them to find a mobo without hdmi inputs than one with, assuming its a prebuilt with nothing added

Do you know if it would it run dual monitors with the mobo HDMI outputs? Just wondering, I'll still get the adapter.

Also noticed the monitors don't have speakers so thanks for mentioning it I'll have to suggest external ones.

dvi can pass audio fyi

using dvi to hdmi cable right now on htpc with sound

youd have to disable the gpu, assuming the chip AND board have onboard



dont get technical with me son
