Xrandr doesn't detect my second monitor connected to my gpu.

Hey, I was following Multihead page on arch wiki to setup my second monitor but nothing I've found so far doesn't resolve the issue I'm having. So I have my second monitor connected to my gpu through HDMI. I ran xrandr and it seems like it doesn't see any ports  on my graphics card. I installed drivers for it(nvidia and nvidia-utils). I thought my lack of drivers for my graphics card is the issue but I reinstalled it and checked if they are working with

lspci -v

and it seems like my drivers are working properly. my gpu is geforce gtx 1060 6gb
My output from xrandr looks like this

Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1080, maximum 16384 x 16384
HDMI-1 disconnected primary (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

Re: Xrandr doesn't detect my second monitor connected to my gpu.

Is this a desktop or laptop ? Besides NVIDIA, do you have an integrated card ?

What is the output of

lspci -k | grep -A 2 -E "(VGA|3D)"

?
