Hi, I have an MSI GTX 970 and I'm currently trying out a triple monitor setup. It turns out the MSI cards don't have triple display port outputs on the back.

My main monitor is connecting via Displayport, the second through HDMI, and the third through DVI.

However, the third monitor - the one connected via DVI, looks to be much lower resolution than it states. It's supposed to be 1920x1080 like the second monitor, but it looks to be very, very low quality. I checked the display properties, and it says it's 1920x1080... But it doesn't look 1920x1080.

Is there anything that might cause my third monitor to look so poor in comparison?

edit:

I swapped the HDMI and DVI cables, and it appears to have fixed it...
I suppose it's a bad port on the back of the third monitor?
