Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before - I've searched the forums to achieve my ideal set-up but haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. I have a trial version of DisplayFusion Pro and am trying to figure-out how to get the following set-up, if possible

FIRST ISSUE

My PC has 2x980Ti GPUs, running in parallel with 2K 60Hz resolution to all displays during normal use:
    1. 1x2K monitor (connected to DisplayPort on GPU1)
    2. 1x4K TV (connected to HDMI on GPU1) + Surround Sound 1
    3. 1x4K TV (connected to HDMI on GPU2) + Surround Sound 2

Windows 10 / DisplayFusion is only able to clone #1 & #2 or #1 & #3, not ALL three like I want. From reading the forums, it seems like all three need to be connected to the same GPU to achieve this cloning (which is weird since I can still clone #1 & #3 on different GPUs??). If that's the case, all I need is a DP to HDMI adapter to be able to connect all displays to GPU1 and I'm good, right?

SECOND ISSUE

Once I am able to clone all 3 monitors, I'd like to set-up this as the default profile with the option to switch to the following "movie mode":
    1. Switch to only displaying on Display #3
    2. Switch to 4K resolution
    3. Switch to Surround Sound 2

Is this all hot-keyable?

For the first issue, that's actually surprising that you're able to clone 1 and 3! Maybe a recent Windows Update or NVIDIA Driver Update is helping there. As for cloning all 3, I would imagine if they're all connected to the same card it should work, but can't guarantee it, as some cards/drivers seem to have their quirks.

For the hotkeys, you can definitely do that. Setup a Monitor Profile for each configuration, and then you can assign key combinations to them in the Manage Monitor Profiles window :)

Hope that helps!

The DP to HDMI adapter worked! I am able to clone all three displays. It didn't work through Windows 10, but Nvidia Control Panel allowed me to do it.

That said, when I tried to save the profile in DisplayFusion, it forced me to "apply" settings first. Since Windows 10 can only clone 2 displays, I believe DisplayFusion doesn't recognize that all three monitors are cloned (see attached). When I click "apply", DisplayFusion switches back to cloning 1+3 and extending display 2 -- which is not what I want.

Any ideas on a workaround?

DisplayFusion has to use the Windows API in the backend, so if it's not working in the Windows display settings, it won't work in DF either :(

Most likely the NVIDIA Control Panel is doing something driver-specific to make this work.

Ah, bummer. I'll just have to set-up the 1+3 and extend 2, then manually change it to clone all 3 using the Nvidia control panel. One extra step won't kill me... I guess!

Thanks anyways!
