  1. Pluging in a fourth monitor is causing my third one to become inactive.


    Hi, I have a laptop with Intel integrated graphics and a Nvidia 1660 ti gpu. On the laptop, I have a micro display port, an HDMI port and a thunderbolt port. I have a monitor that can plug into the laptop via HDMI, one that can do it through micro display, and one via thunderbolt. Whenever I have any given two plugged in, everything works fine, they display along with the native laptop monitor. But when I plug in all three, this happens see pics. How can I fix this?

    :)

  2. My Fourth Monitor Disables My Other Monitors

    So sometimes I plug in a fourth monitor into my PC, and it used to configure automatically without much problem. However since I have upgraded to windows 10 whenever I plug in my fourth monitor my 2 non-main monitor's are completely disabled and cannot
    be detected by both windows and AMD Control Catalyst. If I unplug this monitor everything reverts back to normal. Any idea how I can have all 4 working like they used to?

    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
    Memory speeds

    Laptop Monitor Inactive

    Hi,

    I recently updated Windows on my Microsoft Surface Book 2. Now, when I plug in my second monitor, my laptop display becomes inactive. I have tried everything, and I can't get it working. If I unplug my second monitor, the display on my laptop becomes
    active again.
