Hello everyone,so recently i got a SOny Bravia 46inch(1920*1080) TV so i thought of making it a primary display for my PC and my current Dell P2210 22inch(1680*1050) monitor as a secondary display.
My PC config is-
AMD FX 6300 at stock
Asus Strix GTX 970
MSI 970 gaming mobo
WD 4+3TB storage

SO i connected the TV via an HDMI cord and the Monitor with an DVI cord started the system and it booted really fine.
Selected the TV as the primary display and everything seems fine untill i started any game..all the games are juz showing up on my TV and not on the Dell!
How can i fix this?
All i can do is drag the icons of my desktop screen over to the extended portion and nothing else!
Any help will b greatly appreciated.
If i did anything wrong pls correct me.
 
Primary Display is just that. So that’s where your games are going to show up.

In the nvidia control panel, click setup multiple displays, select mirror. With 2 different resolutions, I think you have to run both at the lower resolution

means i wont b able to get d game running on both the screens?

if i set the screen resolution at 1050P then on the TV black bars appear.
And if kept at 1080P then both d screen appear fine.!
 
Either upscale the resolution on the monitor to 1080p or get a 1080p monitor if you're really against the bars on the TV.
