New video card "Mirrioring" itself on multiple monitors, please help
I have just upgraded video cards from two Nvidia 9800 GT cards to this MSI 260x: Newegg.com - MSI R7 260X 2GD5 OCV1 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
I have a 3 monitor setup and I was told this monitor can handle up to 4 monitors independently of each other, able to have one giant desktop like I had with my two 9800 GT cards.
I only have 2 out of 3 monitors hooked up right now via DVI because I need a DP cable for the 3rd, but my 2 monitors are "mirroring" each other instead of being an extended desktop. When I go to Screen Resolution (win7 64) & click Detect it still only shows 1 monitor & when I hit Identify both monitors mirror each other with a big "1"
Does anyone know how I fix this? I can't seem to figure it out.
On top of this mirroring issue I have a screensaver called Helios & on my other 2 cards it would go across all 3 screens and be super smooth, now this card is very choppy & slow and freezes completely for a second or two.
I still have both monitors hooked up via DVI, but I have the 2nd monitor shut off because the mirroring was giving me a headache, so I'm not sure if it's still affecting how fast the card is working or not, but either way I'm still 1 monitor shy of my 3 setup... I'm almost afraid to try to hook the 3rd one up!
Is there some settings I can adjust to smooth everything out & stop this mirroring effect?
Should I delete the old Nvidia files & drivers etc or can I keep them on without issues incase this MSI card goes bad and I need to use the 9800 GT as a backup?
Thanks.
