Hello all!
So i've been looking all over for an answer but cant seem to find anything.. I have 5 monitors, 4 1080p 60hz and one 1440p 165 hz along with 2 1080tis in SLI. Even with them in SLI i cant get all 5 monitors to work, windows picks the 5th up but will not allow me to extend my display to it. Am I missing something? Have them all plugged into the top card. Top one is a FTW 3 while the bottom one is a SC 2. Thanks in advance!

    Max supported displays is 4.

    This is disappointing. No work around to get 5 to work with SLI?

    Disable SLI and you'll have a max of 4 displays per card.
     
    Or you could just get a cheap third GPU to drive the 5th monitor, if your motherboard has enough slots and the CPU/motherboard has enough PCIE lanes.

    If we might ask why the need for five displays at once? While the 1080ti might only support 4 depending on what you are trying to do it might be easy enough to find a answer to run five at once.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.

    Or a DisplayLink USB monitor device for the fifth, probably cheaper and no hardware requirements besides a USB port.
