Dual Screens not working

Postby UnayableStorm » 02 Jun 2018, 23:37

I am on Win10, fully updated. An AMD 280x graphics card, and AMD FX8350 CPU, 16GB of ram, and an SSD boot drive... just so the specs are known.

I cannot get the dual screens to function. I have 3 screens connected. When i select dual screens in game, and restart the game, it comes up looking like its running 640x480 on just the center monitor. no response at all from the side monitor.

any input?
THanks

Forget about it... it isn't stable anyway.

Best you can get is windowed across monitors, but that's only practical if you have two identical monitors resolution-wise.

Although it might work for you. The FX CPU's aren't for bigger games anyway. You might get a high % crash-free dual screen games if you stick to the 10-minute games.
