Can only use 1 or 3 monitors?

[sircuddles]

I run 3 monitors with a 780 Ti. One is Dual DVI (1440p), one is DVI, and one is using an HDMI to DVI cable (HDMI into the GPU).

I unplugged just the HDMI cable to plug it into my Wii U and I lost the DVI monitor, it gave a no input signal. Is there some limitation I don't know about or way to fix this?

You should definitely be able to use 2 monitors at once with that card.

I would double check the cabling and look in Windows to make sure the screen in enabled.

When I unplug the HDMI cable, the 2nd monitor stops being recognized by Windows. I went into the NV CP and it only shows my 1440 as an available display. When I plug it back in, all 3 work fine.

EDIT: Will edit just in case anyone gets here from Google. I had to go into the Screen Resolution setting in Windows and set it to Extend These Displays. Since I've never had only 2 monitors plugged in, Windows defaulted to a single monitor setup, set to only show my main monitor. Changing the setting enabled both monitors as you'd expect.

Did you have it setup in a Surround resolution? If you did I would say that is why it went back to one monitor. The way Surround works is it shows all of your displays as one to Windows. Unplugging one monitor in the setup before modifying display settings would mess this up.

Next time, go to the Manage Displays and uncheck the monitor you're going to unplug first.

Just FYI, I run dual displays just fine (PG278Q on DP at 1440p/144 Hz, Samsung UN40FH6030 on HDMI at 1080p/60 Hz). If I try to unplug the TV without disabling it first my computer will freak out.
