Dual Ultrawide Not Working?

[umermem]

Hey guys - I have two LG 25 inch Ultra Wide monitors. They are running from an Asus Strix 4gb GTX 960. One is going through HDMI and one is going through Displayport.

The issue I'm having is that it's only the HDMI monitor outputting at 2560x1080. The other monitor is only going to a max resolution of 1920x1080 I have no idea on how to fix this. I need both to run at 2560x1080. My GTX 960 only has one HDMI and 3 DP.

Please could someone give me a resolution,

Thank you.

Assuming you are extending the display, I think you are beyond the max capable horizontal resolution the card can support. duplicate the display and see if they both go to 2560X1080. if it changes than it is likely that you will not be able to extend those two displays. from what I can find the max supported on that card is UHD which is max 3840H not the 5120 you are trying to do

I tried duplicating them. They both turned to 1920x1080 im using a DP to HDMI lead if that makes a difference?

The DP to HDMI cable could be a problem do you know if it is a High speed certified cable? have you checked each monitor individually on the HDMI cable to ensure both monitors are working correctly?

yes both monitors are working fine on HDMI - both display 2560x1080. However because my 960 only has one hdmi output - i have to use the dp to hdmi cable for my second monitor. the cable itself was fairly expensive, http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00Z05JMKO/ref=s9_simh_gw_p23_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=1Y14980V0DHRVEK5VQGZ&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=577048787&pf_rd_i=desktop

look at the 4th bullet

"Supports video resolutions up to 1920x1200 / 1080P (Full HD) and flawless audio pass-thru for uncompressed digital 7.1, 5.1 or 2 channels"
