Hey guys,
I've been struggling with my Dual Monitors (Acer S231) and my ASUS HD Radeon 7850 2G (HD7850-DC-2-2GD5-V2) . When I plug in my second one, I get a "Input not Supported". This is what I've done so far:
- I've used both monitors separately with HDMI and both DVI ports successfully.
- tried hooking up HDMI to one and DVI to the other.
- tried hooking up DVI to both
- tried every possible configuration for HDMI, DVI connections (even PSU for the monitors)
- The monitors are registered by the computer (both in the CCC and windows program). I can move my mouse into the dark abyss of the other monitor.
- Installed the latest GPU drivers from ASUS and AMD separately (the whole uninstall, restart, reinstall process)
- Installed the Beta Driver for my GPU
- Installed the latest Monitor Drivers
- Called Tech Support for both my Monitor and GPU. Acer claims that it is not a monitor problem.
- The only way I've gotten both to work (tried every possible config for the second monitor) is making my second monitor a low resolution (I think it was 1280 x1024 but I don't remember) @ 75Hz with my first monitor at max res (1920 x 1080) @ 60Hz when hooked up with DVI. When I have HDMI hooked up, it's at 1080p.
- I've played with both CCC and "windows screen resolution" functions to change the Resolution
- I bought a DVI splitter and got duplicate displays at my max resolution @ 60Hz. However, I could not get it to extend as a separate monitor, only duplicate.
The ASUS (the GPU manufacturer) mentioned that it might be a RMA issue. I'm hoping to avoid all that waiting for possibly a new GPU.
Also if I do have to RMA, any advice or expectations I should have?
THANKS in advance
My Specs:
AMD FX-6300
Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX aM3+ Mobo
ASUS Radeon HD 7850 2GB GPU
Corsair CX 500W 80 PLUS Bronze PSU
Windows 8
