    Trying to setup 8 screens in Windows


    Hi All,

    I've got a RAMPAGE III EXTREME and 4 x ATI HD 4650 cards in PCI-E

    4 cards show in device manager
    4 cards have been tested in another pc and work fine

    I connect 8 screens and only 6 will show in the display properties so I could use the first 3 cards and it displays or the first card, skip the 2nd and use 3 and 4 i get all 6 but as soon as I plug in monitor 7 and 8 it kicks out the 2nd gpu.

    I've replaced the motherboard which did not help.
    I've flashed the BIOS to the latest version which has not helped.

    Can you help?

    Thanks

I use 2 screens with my system. I also, use media center a lot. Usually, when you put media center in full screen mode, you can only use the one monitor. Now sometimes I can use both screens at the same time, even though media center is in full screen. How can I make that permanent? I'm actually...
