I received a new video card today (XFX R7850) which is replacing my Radeon 6770. With my old set up, I had one monitor hooked up to my onboard graphics, and the other to my dedicated card, and in my BIOS I set the onboard to be first to initialize, and it worked fine, but now I want to have both my monitors displaying off of the new card.

Windows detects the second monitor, but I can't get it to display anything. I updated the drivers and everything, but it just isn't displaying.

I actually figured out the issue, apparently you can't have two or more monitors connected using the same video connector type (DVI, VGA, HDMI)? Googled it and people were having issues connecting two DVI monitors to the same card, which is what I was trying to do. I just hooked up my second monitor to my onboard graphics and its fine now!
