MrShade.
Make sure you have the latest nvidia drivers installed and then go into the nvidia control panel to set up your monitors the way you want to. You should edit your previous post and remove any personal information though.

Thank you much. I have deleted the info. Where is the EVGA card control panel? It seems to be hidden on my system?

Well the nvidia control panel shouldn't be hidden, should be an icon in your lower right corner of the screen. As far as card control itself you would need to install PX1 software https://www.evga.com/precisionx1/ from EVGA for your card as it comes to memory and gpu clocks.

If you don't see the Nvidia CP icon on the taskbar, right click on the desktop. It should be in the popup menu. If it's not there, you'll need to go to the MS Store and download/install it. It doesn't come with the DCH drivers like it did with the typical standard graphics drivers.

It appears to have 2 HDMI ports but that is not the case. One is blocked by a small insert preventing plugging in a 2nd cable. It is also different than the photos on the box and literature. It has been 10-12 years since I built my last c-puter and I can't see how to get 2 monitors working must less 3. Need a little help here, please.

No it looks like its equiped with display port, hdmi port, and dvi port. The display port or hdmi might have a black plug in it but thats just a protective insert and just pulls out to access the port. Which 1660 super do you have for sure?

The protective port covers are inserted by the factory to help prevent damage during shipment.

That other port would be Display Port, you may need to look into obtaining a DP to HDMI adapter if the other monitor is HDMI only.

I had back surgery and can't bend down to look close enough, and this monster weighs 65lbs, so I had a friend lift it and put it back on my workbench and , feel stupid now, it is easy to see and understand.
Thanks for your help,
Rick
