GTX-460 HDMI/DVI help
|
I have a GTX-460, had it for awhile now. Now that I am using dual monitors, my 24" is my main screen and it's connected via HDMI, and my 2nd screen is connected via DVI. When I boot my system, it uses the DVI screen as primary (bootup crap is on this screen) and even the start of windows (LOL WINDOWS) bootup is on it. Then it switches. What I would love to happen is, everything showing up on the HDMI screen.
Before I added the 2nd screen, everything showed up on the HDMI one.

Go into display options.
You'll need to set the HDMI monitor as main monitor

Why is it a bios thing?
I have dual monitors here too and all I have to do is just to go into Display Options within Windows and set one of the monitors as my Primary monitor...

Basic Input Output System
it only checks if you have a video card not if you have anything connected to it
setting it up in the NVIDIA control panel should fix your problem

I am assuming you are using Windows 7.
Right click on the desktop, and click "Screen Resolution"
It is self-explanatory.

I must not have explained myself.... I want everything that is displayed on my monitor PRIOR to windows loading, to be displayed on my HDMI monitor.

I dont always turn on my 2nd monitor. But if I want to boot from a CD, I need it on so I can see when I need to hit the spacebar and crap.
I would just like it on the other one. I tried to find out, but no luck. I guess I could just hook it up DVI, since I dont use the speakers that are built in the monitor.

nm - I think the only way is to use a hdmi/dvi adapter and lose the sound it seems to be a common problem tho that the dvi port becomes the primary port when both are plugged in
the only possible solution I can think of would be to ajust bios settings for your card possibly flashing/updating the bios on the card
