As the title says. I have bought 2 second hand screens (both HP and 1680x1050 res) to sit above my 3 1920x1080 screens (I multibox in Eve Online).

However I've run into a problem where I cannot enable my 5th screen (one of the 1680x1050 screens).

Cabling is as follows
1920x1080 screens
DP to HDMI convert
DP to HDMI convert
HDMI pure

1680x1050 screens
DP to DVI convert
DVI pure

I have tested the screen and it is working and detected on Win10. However I cannot enable it without disabling one of my other screens.

Full spec list of course is already filled.

Doesn't Nvidia only support up to 4 monitors? I may be wrong though...
