Hey,

So I have two monitors - main, DVI-D and second on VGA > DVI with adapter.
My problem is: When I start computer I see boot screen on my second monitor, not first. How can I set priority of monitors? I want to see boot screen on my main monitor. Before GPU change I was using DP and VGA > DVI. It seems like DP have a grander boot priority then VGA/DVI.

So what can I do?

Thanks
Tintai
 
Don't think there is anything you can do. Same thing here but with a 480. Vga monitor comes up first, then when windows loads it goes to my hdmi monitor.....
 
I can't change this in some GPU/monitor/Bios settings? Maybe there is a way.
 
As far as I know there is no setting you can use to change this.

As an alternative, have you tried switching the connectors on the back of the card? My friend had a similar situation (with two DVI monitors on an AMD HD 7970) and he was able to get what he wanted by switching which cable went to which port.
 
Hmm. This is good idea. Maybe there are a DVI port 1 and DVI port 2. But only one of them has DVI-D. I need D for 120Hz.
