Hardware issue?

i recently acquired the interest of trying to game on both of my monitors (spanning the game across both screens) but ive run into an issue... nvidia control panel isnt detecting my 2nd monitor

your description of problem is so vague I can offer you only these two options:

>have u tried to turn both monitors on and plugged them into your NVIDIA CARD (not motherboard)?

>install gentoo

I plugged my secondary monitor to my main monitor. The main monitor is plugged to my nvidia card.

im running them on DVI's i think so i can only use 1 monitor through the card

>plugged my secondary monitor to my main monitor
doesn't make sense, I don't believe you.

People generally plugs monitors into graphic cards.
Plug BOTH monitors into your graphics card via any cable combination which will fit.

But they are both plugged to the card :
monitor 2 -> monitor 1 -> graphic card

The signal shouldn't go from monitor 2 to card without problem ?

thats wasnt me (op)

(OP) i think its because 1 DVI goes into my motherboard then the other one goes into my GPU

Yeah, that's exactly it. nvidia surround only works when both monitors are connected to the GPU.

So my plugging scheme is correct then ?

so i basically need to get a HDMI monitor

No, you can use an adapter. Jesus fuck, how old are you?

HDMI - DVI converters exist?

DVI is just HDMI without audio.

...

How old are you? Either 11 or +65

i know that, its just that ill need to get a converter of some sort wont i?

Wow, how much chores did you have to do to get mommy to buy you a computer?

none, i bought it with my own money from my job you basement dwelling weeaboo with a neck beard

But I only have one DVI port on my card.

Then how about you figure it out with your own wits you fucking mongoloid

P.S. my basement is above ground

Yeaahh fuck off back to

Wow you really are fucking retarded
