The answer for those of you wanting to switch your graphics cards around without swapping cables at the back.

This would be useful for those of us who have a high powered Geforce card headless for Octane and a low powered card running the displays and who then wants to occasionally play The witcher 2 or another game using the high powered card.i Know i've seen some questions on this in past on the forums.

Feed the two graphics card outputs into this on one side and then one lead going out to the monitor on the other side.Then switching over makes one or the other graphics card headless.

Simple 8-)
