4 displays - "Display configuration failed" with 3 currently running
I've been using three monitors for years without any problems. Recently I bought an 8K TV and set it up as a fourth display, but I'm facing some issues getting it working. I have a Gigabyte RTX 3090 gaming graphics card with Windows 10 installed, and I can switch between any three screens smoothly at 1080p. However, activating the fourth monitor causes an error: "The display settings could not be saved. Please try a different combination of display settings." According to the Gigabyte website, the GPU supports four monitors. Based on research, the RTX 3090 is capable of handling multiple displays. What might help is checking if your system settings allow more than three active displays or ensuring the TV is properly configured for multi-monitor use.
your setup involves two 2080ti Aorus extreme WBs, but compatibility depends on the ports you can use together. your machine supports one HDMI or USB and three DP outputs, which is great for running multiple monitors. you mentioned using three monitors—two 30-inch at 2600x1600 and one 32-inch at 1440p. it seems you're considering connecting your TV via HDMI, though only one port would be available at a time.
I considered the setup as possibly disabling one of the ports when another specific port was active (I can’t recall the order, but it didn’t matter to me). I’ve rearranged the display ports a bit, yet nothing changed. Right now I only have two capable monitors and no option to reposition the HDMI cable.
Identify the connected displays and the TV model you're adding. Clarify the connection method for each display—such as DP to DP, HDMI to DP, etc.—and specify the exact cable used.
