Hi all,

First of all, thank you all for helping me build my first PC. Building my own PC was a big deal for me and I couldn't have done it without everyone's advice here.

I have the Radeon Sapphire 5600 T and am currently using a Kogan 27inc curved 240 HZ Free sync gaming monitor. It works a treat and I'm getting 220 FPS on the games I like. Life is perfect....

Now I have 3 weeks of holidays to game on, I want to take the monitor I use for work and use as an additional screen. The second monitor is a Samsung 27 in curved monitor CF591 with refresh of 60HZ.

Problem is, when I connect the second monitor, I don't see the second monitor in settings, and when i click to detect monitor, it only shows the first one. When I try to choose s display, the only drop down i get is for the original display. I was to be able to use them both independently so that I can game on one and use the other for emails/music etc.

I have both connected from my graphic card to each monitor using DP cables.

Any ideas on what to try? Can you have monitors with different refresh rates? Does each monitor have a driver I need to install ?

Thanks in advance,

Author
