  1. Monitor IDs/Numbers Confusion


    I have a Gigabyte Laptop with Intel HD Graphics.
    In addition to the built in display I have a TV attached via HDMI and a Dell U2913WM via VGA port.
    The Intel Graphics Properties Setting allows me to specify which is the primary display and this is set to Number 1. I have set the TV as Number 2 and the built in display as Number 3.
    However Windows in its infinite wisdom decrees that built in shall be Number 1, TV Number 2, and Dell Number 3.
    This really pisses me off.
    Is there any way to have Windows use the same ID Numbers as the Graphic Interface?

    :)

    Assign monitor Numbers

    Hi,

    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.

    If the above given information is not what you're pertaining to, let us know so we would know the next action we can give you.

    Update us after doing the steps.

    Mitsubishi Intros A Pair of New DiamondCrysta Wide Series Monitors

    Looks like they are IPS, but is it true that they are fully 120Hz compliant? I see they seem to list Dual Link DVI connections but I'm confused by the diagram that suggests the monitor internally generates the extra frames. *Confused Monitor IDs/Numbers Confusion :confused:

    Overclocking / Undervolting guide for Vega 56 or 64?

    Here's a quick laundry list:

    List of software to use for overclocking and testing
    Examples:
    Wattman (and how to find and use it, like an overview, including profiles)
    Unigine Valley or Heaven (use this for quick testing while changing settings in Wattman and checking for stability / artifacts) ...just suggesting this
    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)

    Step-by step overclocking in Wattman
    Fan speeds
    Power limit
    Temp limit
    Voltages
    Core speeds
