I just upgraded my computer with a new graphics card (radeon r9 290) and upon restarting the computer my second monitor no longer works unless I set the resolution to 800x600. At that resolution it will duplicate my main monitor, but will not allow me to extend the display. The second monitor is a different size and may have a different resolution, but that hasn't been an issue before.One monitor is dvi the other is hdmi. They are both plugged into the graphics card and not the motherboard. I have the latest graphics drivers as well. The card has two dvi ports and I've tried both with the same result. Using up to date windows 7 as well.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Looks like the automated driver tool was picking up the drivers for my mobo, not the new graphics card. Installing the latest beta drivers for gta v did the trick, everything working again.
