Probably a stupid question but, how would you get dual hd moniters? Because most graphics cards only have 1 HDMI port. Or am I just retarded?

Let's use my GPU as an example here. (ASUS 7770 2GB)

As you can see, there is 1 HDMI port. However, there are 2 DVI-I ports, and these plug into monitors and are capable of full 1080p.

Not many people use HDMI to connect their monitors to their PC, people usually use DVI-I.

If your going to use the HDMI port on your GPU then you need to get a DVI converter for one end of the HDMI cable because you can't plug HDMI straight from your PC to the monitor because so picture will show and for the other monitor you will need a DVI male-male cable.
