I recent purchased a ASUS HD 7850 graphics card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121651
I have a two monitor setup, both ASUS VS247 monitors:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236174
In any case, my graphics card has one DVI-I, one DVI-D port, and one HDMI port .My monitors are both detected by windows and Catalyst Control Center. However, whichever monitor is plugged into my DVI-D port is the one that is active and being used, the other monitor will be in a sleeping status.
Both monitors are recognized by Catalyst Control Center and Windows. But there is nothing that I can do to make both monitors be active simultaneously. I've tried re-installing the drivers, restarting the computer, and a mix and match of HDMI / DVI-D / DVI-I combinations, using different cords with different monitors nothing works. Although I have gathered that all of my cords and hardware are working. The incredible part is that if I use only HDMI, and then plug in my second monitor into the DVI-D port, the HDMI monitor will then go into sleep mode and the DVI-D monitor will become the only active monitor.
I'm really at a loss and I've tried just about everything I can possibly think of. Any suggestions are most appreciated.
:EDIT:
So it seems using DVI-I isn't working, which could be caused by either the graphics card or the VGA to DVI-I converter. In any case it shouldn't hold us back from being to use monitor A in DVI-D and monitor B in HDMI or vice versa. I'm currently using this setup and can only get video on the monitor with DVI-D still, whichever monitor is plugged in via HDMI is still stuck in sleep mode no matter what. Going to play with it a bit more.
