  1. How can I assign certain programs to display on selected monitors?


    I've set up duial monitors, using my laptop's native display for Desktop, settings, email, and other Office programs, with my larger desktop monitor used mainly for Cadd and graphics when connected. How can I assign certain programs to display when opened on the selected monitors without dragging the windows to each monitor every time I start-up?

    :)

  2. How to select certain GPUs to control certain programs?

    So, I am thinking about building a PC with an RTX 2060 and a GT 1030, and I would like to know if it is possible to assign certain programs to certain GPUs?

    For example, let's say both of my monitors are connected to the RTX 2060, but I only want games (Overwatch, Minecraft, etc.) to run on said RTX 2060, and I want all other applications (Chrome, Discord, etc.) to run on the GT 1030, but still display on the
    monitors connected to the RTX 2060. Is this possible? If so, how can I configure windows to run like this?

    Thanks.

    If you're pertaining to making Acer screen as the monitor 1 and the other is 2, you can just have them interchanged by going following the steps below:

    • Right-click on your desktop screen > Display settings.
    • Under "Select and rearrange displays", just drag the monitor basing on your choice of number; then, click on "Apply" button after.

    How can I assign certain programs to display on selected monitors?

    4870x2 won't display at 1680x1050 at all!

    OK. Now I know what ur problem is. Step by step:
    1. Go to Catalyst Control Center
    2. Click on the word "Graphic" right on top left corner. It will display drop down menu
    3. Click on Display monitor and will see the list of monitor at near bottom
    4. Right Click the monitor and select "Configure". It will show up the window
    5. There will be 3 option to select. Select the middle one and then click on the tab which show the bar with 15%.
    6. Drag the bar to max, and the screen will stretch to the native resolution 1680x1050.
    7. Also click the tab with showing RGB drop down list and select the last one (it will change to image quality for pc).
    That's it. Good Luck.
