Hey there,

I'm using two graphics cards in my computer to have a 3 screen setup. Now my main screen is plugged into my best graphics card and my two others in the "lesser" one. The problem is that I really can't change the physical places of my graphics cards because one fan is bigger than the other and my internet card is in the way. Also my pc boots from the screen i use least (which is usually turned of to save energy) which is pretty annoying. Also in Windows my main screen is used as main screen, but that only shows once windows has started up, so i guess i'd have to change something in my bios. Basically i want to change some setting to boot up from my main screen.

So my question: Is there a way that i can reconfigure my BIOS or some Windows settings so my PC will recognize the other graphics card as main graphics card and will boot using that screen?

PS: Feel free to ask for any additional details.

Have you tried swapping the signal cables over at either the monitor end or the graphics card end?

Well, the thing is that I think it'd be better to use my best gfx card for my main screen.
