Graphics Card Issues

Post by Kaodo »

So I’m a VJ at a club and I’m running Resolume off a desktop in the DJ booth. I had an idea to run an HDMI to a video encoder that feeds to all the TVs on that floor. It works but my computer can’t handle doing my computer monitor, the LED wall, and the feed to the encoder. If I try to have three separate outputs at 1080 then the TV output will be glitchy and look terrible so I’m currently running my LED wall at 720 just the so TV doesn’t look glitchy if I try to do three outputs.

I’ve tried an HDMI splitter but that didn’t work
I was told to try an eGPU but apparently there are issues
My PC has a GTX 1060 3GB on it

I'm hoping someone could shed light on my issue

Ideally I would like to run two unique outputs at 1080 60fps if possible

The 1060 should handle 3x 1080p outputs just fine

Do you have all the outputs connected only to the 1060?
Not the mainboard HDMI output?

If you enable show display info in the Resolume output menu, does the GFX and Rendered card lines both say the 1060?

Are you using DXV clips?

Sometimes the computer has trouble detecting the third output but when it does. A 1080 Output causes a weird glitchy effect on the visuals and yes all them are DXV clips

And everything is connected to a graphics card.

Hmm, os detecting a display can have weird effects on the system.
I'd check the cables, to make sure my connections are solid, and the machine doesn't lose displays randomly.

I'm thinking the display detection might be caused by the fact the HDMI is 75 ft cable and not two smaller cables with a booster or it's not a powered HDMI cable

Google tells me that HDMI @1080p will break over 50feet.

The cable I have is 75 ft but there is still plenty of extra cable left over so a powered 50ft HDMI might be long enough and I could probably add a booster if it isn't

I've used a dozen or so of these without any issues for art installs. Highly recommended for the price.

It reaches but it won't after I ziptie and run the line with the other cables. I'll need about 15 ft or so possibly plus an extender. Anybody have any booster or extender recommendations?

In addition, the computer won't detect the third output or it has issues detecting. The ports are an HDMI, DVI, and a Display Port. I'm currently using an HDMI to Display Port Adapter for the third output that I'm having trouble with.

I've disabled the integrated graphics card in the device manager and disabled any integrated graphics card settings in the bios. Still no luck

I'm thinking it's the display port because I'm using an Active HDMI cable and if I'm getting no signal even after switching cords to different ports then it must be the port or the display adapter which was a basic adapter I got from best buy

It's worked before but I'm just not sure if it's a hardware issue or something on the operating system
