Good day,
I am unable to start a monitor on any of the Displayport connections on my EVGA GTX950. I am only able to drive a monitor from the DVI connection and when I try to setup a dual-view connection with a monitor on the DVI and a monitor on one of the Displayport connections the monitor on the DisplayPort cannot detect a signal and eventually suspends. I am using the DisplayPort cable that came with the monitor and so I do not believe it is a cable/monitor combination problem. This problem is present right from boot up.
Kind regards,
Craig

    I would try a different DP cable just in case. For some reason I see a lot of defective cables. I got lucky and never had any problems with my DP cable and it was the cheapest one that T-D had in stock.

    and why I suggested  use 2  ports not dvi-I   hdmi and hdmi or hdmi display port or display port and display port ??     like that guy kinda said maybe the analoug part of the dvi-I gets things mixed up ??
     
    lots of guys in this same boat as you
     
    good luck
