Hello,

I am trying to use a mix of 2 monitors connected to my GTX 1080 TI and 1 to motherboard ASROCK X370 SLI/ac (total of 3 monitors), but the monitor connected to the motherboard doesn't turn on at all. 

I tried to go to my BIOS settings but there isn't ANY option related to monitor there. 

What do I have to do to make this work?

Thank you

" rel="nofollow - hmm its not impossible...but
1) in bios u should set your apu to always enabled (if that setting is there) as it may get disabled with dedicated card
2) while it is possible to set up multiple monitors using ports on both your motherboard and your discrete graphics card, you will see a performance drop and some lag when you move windows between monitors.

" rel="nofollow - Possibly a stupid question, but you are using an APU, aren't you?

I don't even know what an APU is, man. :(

By the way, my processor is a Ryzen 7 1800X.

1800X does not have an iGPU so thus will not/can not output graphics.

APU is a proc that has built-in graphics iGPU(InternalGPU). 1800X is not one.
