Windows 10: Three displays for gaming takes long to configure perfectly

Hello.


My system is able to run games at three displays (GeForce 1050ti, using 3x HDMI - DisplayPort cable). It's time-consuming to set this up perfectly after a clean Windows 10 installation.

People are required to configure nVidia Surround or Eyefinity to let any game run on 5040x1050.

By default, games will not recognize the resolution of three displays automatically. Well, thats not the big deal, because nVidia Surround (or Eyefinity for AMD users) care for this possibility.


It's not only limited to Windows 10 and nVidia Surround.

I need displayfusion as well to fine tune the window placement perfectly. Without this third party tool, Windows will leave some space between a window and sides of the monitor. Thats annoying me so much, if you can imagine.


And, updating Windows or nVidia Graphics makes no sense after 2-3 years. The workaround for me is creating virtual displays in displayfusion's monitor configuration (dividing the surround resolution by three, so I get three virtual displays).... And guess what, the browser and other apps finally fits the entire desktop space, without leaving space around the side and corners of a window (and I still can't snap a window to the right side or corner of monitor #2).


C'mon, where is the compatibility for thee monitors? It's time-consuming to set this up perfectly.


Anyone different ideas?

Thanks in advance!


Kind regards,

is there any demand for a system configurator?

second display configuration issue


Hi All,

My configuration:

Windows 10 Pro x64
AMD Radeon HD 7800

Latest updates and video drivers installed, no hardware changes for 2+ months, latest significant Windows update 2 weeks ago, latest AMD video driver installed at least a week ago.


I have 2 identical displays connected via DVI to Windows PC over several years already with "Extend displays" configuration, and suddenly this configuration stopped working a couple of days ago when I was in the middle of doing something. Windows just replaced it with "Duplicate displays" configuration.


During PC startup I see BIOS diagnostics on both displays. Windows detects 2 displays. "Show only on 1" and "Show only on 2" options work as expected.


Problem: "Extend these displays" results in display 1 going blank and display 2 shows it's part of the image.


AMD Eyefinity (which creates virtual desktop over several monitors) works fine - which suggests that problem maybe only with Windows configuration.


What is done:

• checked cables
• removed and installed again latest AMD drivers
• removed second display from the System Devices, refreshed hardware list and added display again - now I have "Generic PnP monitor" and monitor with correct name in Monitors section
• searched for latest drivers for monitors and display adapters from Device Manager, nothing found

Next I replaced one monitor with monitor from different manufacturer, and everything works as expected - "Extend these displays" configuration shows extended image.


Any ideas what else can be done to fix the problem?


Thank you in advance.

 

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.
