It\u2019s seeing everything in action, frame by frame. But on a single screen, that can easily get cramped, especially if you\u2019re sharing your progress to livestream viewers and multitasking. Here are some benefits of a dual (or more) monitor setup:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Streaming:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Launch your game and play on one screen, and keep an eye on your Twitch or YouTube stream on another screen.

Read on for everything you need to get set up.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 1. Get the same monitors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find out what type of monitors you have, or get to know the specs of the screens you\u2019re looking to buy. If you\u2019re in the market for new monitors, opt for recent and identical models.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the same make and model monitors helps ensure a seamless setup. This makes it easy to measure the available space on your desk and ensure that your setup fits perfectly. Plus, without the height and width difference, you can also have monitors that are precisely parallel to each other, creating one larger, extended display.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 2. Make sure your monitors have the same parts and ports<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you can\u2019t find monitors that are exactly the same, at least make sure they have the same ports, such as the HDMI or DisplayPort connection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, you\u2019ll want monitors that have the same display features, such as graphic syncing, so your game loads clearly and looks exactly the same way across the entire display. This also ensures that you have access to the same support options.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 3. Get the right graphics card<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most new GPUs are now built to support multiple monitors, so you can just plug them right in. But if you\u2019re buying a graphics card to support your multiple-monitor setup, you need to make sure it has the right type and number of ports. Most importantly, you need to confirm that it can support multi-screen features for a smooth and seamless display.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some details between the most common graphics card brands:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>AMD:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Their graphics cards are found in most computers today and are often built to support multiple displays. The most popular AMD graphics cards for gaming come with the multi-monitor EyeInfinity technology. It allows computers to support up to three simultaneous displays spread across three monitors, without the bezels hiding any pixels. AMD\u2019s EyeInfinity technology works best with DisplayPort connections, so make sure to opt for those if you\u2019re getting this graphic card.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Nvidia:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> These graphic cards are built with Surround, allowing them to support multiple monitors and next-generation 3D gaming. Surround can operate with standard monitor connections.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alternatively, you may be able to use your current GPU with adapters for EyeInfinity or other similar technology, allowing you to set up multiple monitors for seamless gaming.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 4. Connect everything and turn it on<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you have all the parts, it\u2019s time to connect them and turn on your gaming computer. Plug in the monitors in their corresponding ports, and you should see your primary screen load.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t worry about the other screens yet. You\u2019ll only need your primary monitor to start the setup. Go to the display settings and set it to extend the display across monitors. If you experience issues like a black or unresponsive display, check the ports to ensure that all the cables are properly plugged in and update drivers as needed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0 5. Update display settings for gaming<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And finally, change the settings on your GPU control panel to maximize the power of your graphics processor. Graphics processors for gaming like those created by AMD and Nvidia typically come with custom settings that allow you to set up multiple monitors at the best resolution and refresh rate for optimal display.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And now, you\u2019re ready to play. Most recently released games will perform seamlessly across multiple monitors, giving you a fully immersive experience. Many of these are also compatible and enable optimal gaming on a multi-monitor setup. However, keep in mind that classic titles may not be suited to multi-monitor gameplay, so check your setup first before streaming.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complete Your Gaming Setup with Comwave Internet<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Are you an avid gamer and streamer?
