[apologies I should have posted this in the graphics card forum]
Hi,
I have an MSI Gaming 7 Motherboard and an MSI GTX 980 Gaming 4G GPU running on 64 bit windows 10 with latest geforce drivers
I am trying to connect my AudioVideoReceiver/TV as a third output via HDMI from my 980. I have a 1080p BENQ monitor connected via DVI to the 980 which i use as my main monitor, and a smaller Emprex monitor connected via HDMI to the motherboard.
The AVR will eventually serve a projector & TV using it's A/B output options, but at the moment it's just serving a Plasma TV.
however as soon as I plug in the AVR/TV via HDMI on the 980, it takes over as Display 1 and makes my primary monitor becomes Display 2 (see diagram http://oi61.tinypic.com/2w674af.jpg)
(note displays are arranged right to left .. Main Monitor on the right, smaller monitor in the middle, TV on the left which is essentially in a different room)
this starts confusing things such as Win+P (for projector etc)...
if I select "Second Screen only" my desktop swaps sides between my 2 monitors (Display 2 & 3) and the TV signal (1) turns off. This is definitely wrong! (and messes up icons as the resolutions of the screens are different)
If I select "PC screen only" the signal goes to the AVR/TV. it should be going to the main monitor but since my monitor won't stay as Display #1 when i plug the TV in, the signal goes to the AVR/TV instead as #1
("Duplicate" & "Extend" work as they should though as per layout set up in windows display properties 1--3--2)
is there anything I can do with Bios etc to ensure that the HDMI port is not seen as the main display, and instead the DVI port is?
thanks for any advice.
