I recently decided to upgrade my GTX 550Ti for an R9 280X I got a decent deal on.

I've been trying to set up more than one monitor and seem to have run into an issue. I have the option of duplicating (mirror) to monitors, which I have no use for. I also do not want an extended monitor.

On my old GTX, I could set up a multi-display where I basically had two separate desktops. The start bar stayed on one, but if I maximized a window in my right monitor, it would only fill that monitor.

It seems on my R9 280X, I do not have the option - or maybe you guys can tell me if I am missing something?
