    Curious if others have run into this? When I run an external monitor plus my laptop monitor, I can't game. In fact AB wont even show anything. I have to be on only one screen or the other for it to work.

    Kind of disappointing for such a high end rig.

    There should be a hotkey combo using the FN key for your external output.

    It really should work yes, you can double check your monitor settings in the CCC.

    i guess i can't say anything for AMD rigs, but i find that it's largely dependent on the game. some titles work better than others, and others don't work at all unless i unplug the external monitor. are you unable to run any game?
