Why wont games display on both of my monitors?

[ziggs57]

Hello all,

I have two monitors, ASUS ROGSWIFTPG248. Games will only open on one montor? I have the settings set up so it displays as one, but games will not open in both? Any thoughts or ideas why? I have tried many things and still will not work.

Thank you

Install Steam and start it up in Big Picture mode, under display settings, select the monitor you want to play the game on. By doing this steam changes the windows primary display temporarily until you leave big picture mode. You can add non steam games to your steam library as shortcuts so you can launch any game(or any other program) via Big Picture which launches on the display you chosen.

I do have it installed. It still now will display my games across both screens?

You have to configure Nvidia surround under multi monitor settings in the Nvidia control panel. From there you'll be able to set it up. It's kind of awkward with two monitors because you'll either have the bezel as the middle or an off center field of view.

Thank you. The Steam did not work. I decided not to do the dual monitors as you were correct yoitsmegabe. It did look awkward.
