Ok now I want to start off with making this very clear. I DO NOT GAME ON THIS SYSTEM, THIS IS PURELY A WORK SYSTEM. Now that's out the way, I have 5 monitors set up and all wired into the back of the graphics card and the Nvidia control panel is telling me I cannot have more than 4 monitors at once. This is running driver version 399.24 (Latest version as of 10/9/2018)
Any ways to get my last monitor on? Ryzen 5 1600 (running iGPU for another output isnt an option) 32Gb Trident Z RGB Asrock B350 Pro 4. Thanks

NVIDIA graphics cards only support up to 4 monitors, it is a well-established limitation.

You will need additional graphics card to attach more monitors.

You could connect multiple monitors to single DisplayPort output.

That won't circumvent the limit.
It is a Gigabyte card, Granted I was ignorant and didn't check if it could support 5 cards before buying but that's my mistake. One is getting connected by DisplayPort, 3 of them are with HDMI and one is using a DVI to HDMI cable (I have confirmed all 5 cables and monitors work as I can enable any 4 of them at once, Just not all 5 at once)
