Having issues with multiple monitors

[MorlockDarccastle]

I've been running my laptop (Windows 7 x64 Ultimate) along with a secondary 21.5" Philips display just fine. Today, I decided to buy a new 27" screen (an LG one, shouldn't matter), so I could use 3 monitors in extended mode.

 

I have the standard Intel HD Graphics and an Nvidia Geforce 650M.

 

Now, I seem to be having issues with the display adapters. I can't use all 3 monitors at the same time (when in Screen resolution, the 21.5" is "disconnected" and I cannot connect it).

I noticed all monitors are "installed" on the Intel HD Graphics adapter.

 

Is there a way to shift them to my Geforce adapter, so I can use all 3 of my monitors?

 

If you need more information, feel free to ask.

 

EDIT: forgot to mention, the 21.5" connects through VGA, the 27" through HDMI.

What CPU are you using? and what Igpu?

 

Trippe monitor may not be available per: http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-033714.htm

 

 

 

What three independent display configurations are supported?

In most cases, three independent displays are supported in the following configurations:

If two of the displays are DisplayPort* monitors

If one of the displays is an Intel® Wireless Display (Intel® WiDi)

If the built-in display is an Embedded DisplayPort1 (eDP)

I'm using the Intel Core i7-3610QM, not sure what you mean with lgpu... (Sorry, I'm very tired...) I have an MSI Geforce GT 650M in my laptop, if that helps...

According to the Intel website you provided, I should check the connector type of my Built-in Display. I can't find it for some reason...

 

My original question was if I could set the "parent" of my displays to my 650M, instead of the Intel HDG. Would that be possible?

I think you can.but it will not change.it will turn the intel graphic off

Do it from bios but it will take alot of battery charging

My BIOS has no Boot Adapter option or something similar... I should look up my BIOS version, but it just doesn't have it.

I thing you might have to use other connections it can be that two monitors on the two connectors you are using are not supported. If you have a displayport try to get a splitter and run both the screens of the dp.

Sadly enough, I only have a VGA and an HDMI port on my laptop... And according to the website ionbasa provided, my current setup should work (provided my built-in display is using eDP, which I can't seem to check)

Every laptop has a bios but they are different in the keys you input to enter..what is your labtop model?

I think you misunderstood me... I know I have a BIOS, and I checked it already. I just can't find a Boot Graphics Adapter option of some sorts.

Try disable it from. Device mangment.(right click on my computer then mange)

I can try it, but wouldn't that not give me any image at all? At least until I restart in Safe Mode

It depends on your machine.but you can try

That won't work as you are using most likely using Nvidia Optimus: http://www.nvidia.com/object/optimus_technology.html

 

The CPU has a built in 'onboard graphics", (iGPU). The 650M only gets used when the nvidia driver detects a program like a game is running.

 

Also it seems it wont work. The link I posted said that at least two monitors need to be through display port in order to get triple monitor running

The table does mention something like VGA + HDMI + eDP (my Built-In display)... Do you happen to know another way I could check the connector type of my monitor?

 

Also, sorry if it seems I'm rambling or something... I just find it so dumb my triple monitor setup isn't working...

You can't do this. Won't work. Dual monitor is the best you are going to get. Sorry
