Hey everyone! I recently built a PC and replaced my dead graphics card with a friend's 2080 Super. Most things are running fine, and I'm able to play games without issues. However, I'm having a problem where it only recognizes one monitor at a time, giving priority to the one that's connected via HDMI. I've tested both monitors separately, and they work just fine. But when I connect both, it won't detect them at the same time. Any suggestions on how to resolve this issue?

Make sure both of your monitors are plugged directly into the graphics card. Sometimes, if one is connected to the motherboard, it can cause issues with detection. With dedicated graphics like the 2080 Super, you want them both connected to it.
You might need to reinstall your NVIDIA drivers. It's a good idea to use Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to wipe any old drivers before installing the latest ones directly from the NVIDIA site. This should help your PC recognize both monitors properly.
I’ve checked, and both are indeed plugged into the GPU, not the motherboard.
