3rd monitor setup GTX 780

[Driver170]

The graphics card i use GTX 780 DVI D port that i'm trying to use on it has never been tested on a VGA circuit. So i've just gotta see once i get that micro USB.

I can use that monitor on HDMI and that native res, but have 2 problems - 1 the thing i'm using to drag across to it barely fits the window.

And my screen keeps minimizing my flight sim game when in full screen mode?

So you`re saying using HDMI you can only go up to a certain resolution, but with vga you can go higher and the window you drag over will fit ?

Did you order or get the proper adapter you need ?

 

[Driver170]

Yeh HDMI recommends alot lower res than the DVI I cable i was using but i'm using that DVI I port for my smaller monitor as that is purely VGA and needs that port.

So thats why i got a DVI D adapter from amazon so i could connect my LCD which is VGA output to that DVI D port.

Well i connected that adapter last night and it was causing my screen to flicker on and off? Maybe it needs that micro USB? I will get one today

Ok i connected that adapter but its causing my screen to flash on and off like flickering? I got it working for a few mins but it started flickering

 

[Driver170]

Its okay now guys i changed the res

 

[Driver170]

Maybe not. It keeps flickering after a few minutes of being ok

My main monitor and the LCD screen thats hooked upto the adapter

Did you receive the usb cable yet? Are the above with or without cable?

 

[Driver170]

Thats with the micro USB its all hooked up. But now both monitors keep turnint off and on

First try that adapter alone, remove/disable the other displays (if possible). Start adding after you make sure it is working.

 

[Driver170]

How can i try that adapter alone it needs to be plugged in with my LCD 2nd monitor

 

[GokAy]

Did you check refresh rates (in advanced settings) and screen resolution options? Do they work in safe mode?

What's the resolution of the displays?

 

[Driver170]

Yeh i tried 60 and 75 also tried a few res within monitors specs. Hmm not sure!

I got it working for like 10 minutes, but when i reset my PC it started up again i had to unplug it.

[Driver170]

I've hooked it up with my HDMI cable and its working perfectly

So where are you at with this ?

 

[Driver170]

I decided to go with my HDMI cable. I can fit in my main software window and just about my other thing too. It will do infact its good lol

But why does my 2nd monitor turn off when i select another resolution apart from recommended?

 

[AddRAM]

No clue.

Do you have "Hide modes this monitor can not display" checked, or is it greyed out ?

 

[Driver170]

Its greyed out?
