Nvidia Surround Problems

[viper1884]

So i got my 3 more monitors for my setup for a total of six and was able to hook them up with a single 780ti by enabling the  "multiple display" setting in my Bios.

they are set up in this configuration

 

Win 10 64bit

 

4 5 6

1 2 3

 

1,3 BenQ GL2460 24 inch at 1080p

2 ASUS VG248QE 24 inch at  1080p

4,5,6 Dell p2210 22 at inch

 

1 hdmi

2 DVI Dual link

3 DVI

4 DP

5 DP

6 VGA to a HDMI adapter

 

i got all the displays working correctly with out to much of a hassle.

 

my original intention is to run 1,2,3 in Nvidia surround and use 4,5,6 for desktop use. However i discovered that you cannot combine Mobo ports and GPU ports when using Surround.

when i discovered this i had 1,2,3 in surround with 5 (connected to GPU) as accessory monitor. i decided i did not like this and chose to disable Surround.

 

After Surround was disabled, i had to rearrange (software) the monitors back to proper orientation as Surround always messes them back up in my experience.

 

however monitor number 6 did not come back. i used windows display settings and ran a detect nothing found. i switched cables monitor is fine when Display port is used but when i switch the VGA cable to a different monitor that monitor has the problems. when i leave the VGA in and disconnect a different monitor it comes back on, but when i reconnect it disconnects the VGA monitor. oddly enough when i unplug number 6's VGA/HDMI cable only the task bar flashes, and if i look at the display orientation when its disconnected the square for display 5 disappears and 6 appears.

 

it seems maybe there is some shared resource that was being used when all 6 were working initially but once Surround was enabled it seems to changed. 

i uninstalled Nvidia software/drivers and reinstalled thinking maybe it would reset something but id did not change.

and yes i turned the computer off and back on.

 

anyone have this issue before, know of a solution?

 

Thanks for any help.
