Hello

My MSI GTX980 Gaming 4G suffers from tearing on 2 of the 3 monitors. They are all 3 the same DELL 60Hz 1920x1080p. The one that is connected directly with DVI-D is fine. This is the one in the middle and is set-up as my main display. The left one (DVI-D to DP adapter) and the right one (HMDI) are suffering from this issue. Changing the ports/swithing does nothing. The only solution is changing wich display is set-up as my main display. If i do this, the main display does not suffer from tearing, the other ones do.

I didn't game yet but when watching youtube/ browsing it is very clearly tearing. Vsync is on in Nvidia insp and I tried all the other modes but nothing helps.

Why does changing my main display help? I don't understand? Is my card broken or...?

If you need more info, just ask

Thanks in advance
Sam

Just to expand (I don't have an answer for you at this moment). I'm running the EVGA GTX 980 running two dell 24" monitors and 1 ASUS 27" monitor as my main display. So I know 3 monitors is capable with a 980 with absolutely no issues.
