HDMI doesn't display!

Post by Amon Amarth »

So I'm trying to get all three of my monitors to be displayed on ONE GTX 780 (running SLI). Unfortunately when I plug in the HDMI, my other two monitors stop receiving a signal, and my HDMI still doesn't receive a signal either.

I've tried unplugging both monitors and just having one HDMI, but still no signal. Anyone encounter this problem? If so, how do I fix this?

UPDATE: HDMI works, the nvidia control panel can't use all three monitors on a single card. Please help!

Hi Amon,

I don't think it will work that way; try connecting using option two here:

Connect a DVI & HDMI to the green coloured ports on the top card, and your second DVI to the yellow DVI on the second card.

I know this is late and I'm not trying to resurrect and old thread but just FYI, Amon:

I was previously running all three monitors off of only 1 of my 780s using the 2x DVI and 1xHDMI. Worked fine here for everything I was running. Occasionally when resuming from sleep, the 2nd DVI monitor port would not wake the monitor. I would have to manualy unplug the monitor to power it off and plug it back in and then it would wake it. Not sure if that was an issue with the Asus monitor or the gfx card but I've since switched to using 2x DVI and 1x display port with an active adapter and now, the display port monitor is the last to resume by 5 seconds or so. At least it wakes up on its own though.

Not sure why your HDMI + 2xDVI wasn't working. I'm using EVGA 780gtx SC cards if that matters.
