I am attempting to setup two monitors with a DVI and HDMI cables, my monitors are kind of old and didn't come with displayport. Which ever monitor is plugged in using the DVI cable works, the monitor plugged in using the HDMI cable just displays a black screen with no error message but the computer detects that it is plugged in and allows me to orient and set the monitor priorities. I've tried three different HDMI cables I had laying around the house and none of them worked. Prior to my 1080 I had two 570s in SLI running with two DVI cables and that worked fine. Anyone have any suggestions as to what the issue is?

You say it just has a black screen, did you actually try moving the mouse to that screen? If you set the second monitor as the default, what happens to the desktop icons?
