I recieved my 970 (iChill edition) this morning.

It has:

1 DVI port
1 HDMI port
4 Display ports

My 2 monitors have:

1 (Primary) : VGA,DVI
2 (secondary): VGA,DVI,HDMI

I have the DVI to the first monitor and HDMI to the second but the second isn't working, Windows & Nvidia control centers both show that the monitor is ''there'' and I can drag stuff accross the screens but there's simply no image and the power button isn't on the second monitor.

Any solutions? I have 2 x Displayport to DVI adaptors on the way to see if that fixes the issue.

how can you drag stuff across the screens and NOT see the image on the second monitor?

Are you sure your second monitor is set to the correct port and that it works properly with another HDMI device?

How would I change ports? I cannot guarantee it works with another HDMI output.

There's a button on the monitor to select which port to use. Check the manual.

I'd just get http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K2E4RGC or http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K2E4PNW (depending on whether you already have DVI cables) and not bother with different port types. Have only ever had problems trying to get GPUs to cooperate with multiple displays via different connection types.

Have you tried the hdmi monitor without the DVI monitor connected? Back in the day sometimes cards were only designed to only be able to use either an HDMI or a DVI and not both together.

This, when I switch cables on my monitors from HDMI to Display Port cable the monitor will come on and say for instance (HDMI no signal, the old setting) I then have to set the monitor to the new Display port cable I am using so that it can be seen.

Some monitors will auto switch, but then many who used the different inputs as a KVM complained that when a source went into power save, the monitor would change inputs by itself. Thus, it's not as popular a feature as it used to be.
