So I just got my new Gateway 30" XHD3000 to go in the middle of my dual 20" Dell 2001FP's and everything is just gorgeous and wonderful, save for one little problem.
I am running Vista Ultimate 64 with a Q6600, 4Gig RAM and an 8800GT for the Gateway and 1 Dell and a 7900GT for the other Dell. Also, I'm using the 169.04 Nvidia driver (for both vid cards).
The monitors are set up like this:
#3(Dell in portrait on 7900GT)---#1 (Gateway on 8800GT port 1)---#2 (Dell in portrait on 8800GT port 2).
Now, before I got the Gateway tonight, I was running Aero w/o problem on both Dell's. But now that I throw a 3rd monitor in the mix on a 2nd video card, monitor in the #3 spot goes haywire. It's getting a signal from the computer, but it's diagonal and completely scrambled.
I have tried "updating my score" (which is 5.7), I have tried both DVI ports on the 7900GT, I have tried switching which monitor is hooked up to 7900GT. Nothing has fixed the problem and I'm beyond frustrated now.
If anyone has encountered the same problem and/or knows of a fix of this, PLEASE let me know.
TIA.
eta: I took a screenshot to try and show what I was talking about, but in the screenshot, the monitor appears just fine.
So I took a photograph of it. Please forgive the cables etc...just set it up to get it working. Not permanent like that
One last edit here...
The 7900GT works fantastically running everything BUT the Aero Theme. Grrrrrrrrr.
