can I connect two monitors through a VM using gpu passthrough

Last updated on 09 Jan 2022 📧 Subscribe

I would like to run a vm with a dual monitor setup. I know the 1688x only has one hdmi output, so alone I don’t think it can work. But if I install a graphics card can I connect two monitors through a VM using gpu passthrough?

We have not tried this. But it might possible.
First of all you need to use HD Station to access and control your VM directly and not web browser.

After that, all assigned HDMI ports should be visible inside Windows just like normal PC. You can then extend the output to a second screen.

We have not tried this, it might not work.

I hope this helps.
