Are you still using the Windows default driver? I believe that it will show both the primary and secondary connections for the card. Even though it's a single card it can control two monitors and is viewed as such. The ATI driver will only show one. :)

CNIGHT3, welcome to the Seven Forums.

You remember to disable the onboard HD 4200 in the bios? If not that would be why you have it showing in Device Manager. Also if you didn't, don't uninstall anything for it as it uses the exact same driver as your 5770. Just disable it unless you want to re-install the driver for the 5770.

Yep, uninstall the driver for the HD 4200 series chipset, restart your computer, access the BIOS and disable the onboard graphics.

Nno you don't. If you uninstall anything it is only the video driver, which will also uninstall it for the HD 5770. Much easier to just disable it in the bio and leave the driver alone, it won't affect anything. That I have a 780G based motherboard with the slightly older HD 3200 on it, and used to enable/disable it as needed to use it with my LCD TV, while running dual monitors off of a HD 4830.

You're welcome and thanks for posting back.

P.S. Just in case you didn't know, you can also use the onboard with any AMD video card to use up to 4 monitors at a time; 2 on the card itself (and possibly 3 with the HD 5xxx and up series), and 2 off of the onboard.

Sorry, should have been clearer. I meant the HD4200 chipset's video driver, although in hindsight, it wouldn't really matter. Thanks for chipping in.

Good to hear.
