Help with multi-display setup

[scirishman76]

I just built a pc for multi displays (nforce 980a and two geforce 9500GT's not in SLI)I was expecting to be able to run 6 monitors as the 980a onboard supports 2 and each of the 9500's support 2 Im only seeing 5 outputs 2 from the primary 9500, 2 from the 980a onboard, But my second 9500 will only support 1(both outputs work for 1 monitor but when I add a second nothing.I am running Vista home premium 64 any help would be appreciated TY

I've never set up 6 monitors before, you'll probably have to do a bit of troubleshooting.

First, swap the 2 outputs of the secondary 9500 to the monitors of the primary 9500. Then, swap the 2 outputs of the primary 9500 to the monitors of the secondary 9500. You're checking to see if the cables and/or monitors are bad. If you get the same results, swap the cable of a working monitor to that of a non-working monitor.

If the results don't change, then I'd take out the secondary 9500. Replace the primary 9500 with the secondary 9500. Check to see if you get 2 outputs. If not, you have a defective 9500.

Hope that helps.
