Nice card, what forceware are you using?

That driver isn't that great try a newest version.

Nice avatar picture, ronald.

Anyway, to your question, are all four monitors the same? Can you get the one that doesn't show up to show up when it is the only monitor?

 

[ronaldbeyer]

All monitors are the same. HP L1950g s.
The fourth monitor can not show up unless you move it to port one since windows looks at that port if it is the only port connected.

I have tried several bios changes which did nothing. I am going to put the card in a different HP pc with more memory 2 gig and a different processor.

Does all the ports work individually?

 

[ronaldbeyer]

Windows shows all of them. I am not sure what you mean by individually. I am trying to use it with dual view. This may be what I am doing wrong. PNY tech said he knew someone who was able to use 4 displays in Dual View mode. The fourth display showed up one time in the Nvidia control center. I have not figured out what changed since then.

Is there a better forceware to use than the Nvidia?

I have had the same issue since purchase - drives me nuts. There is a work around that is no fun. After computer is on for a couple of minutes, unplug and replug in the hdmi to back of the computer 1 at a time and about 5 to 10 seconds in between. Then all 4 monitors will work that day. You may have to do this more than once to get them all on. but it only works for the day it seems. I hate this problem and hate this video card. Wish the computer store had simply sold me two cards which is what I had done for years and it worked flawlessly.
