Hi guys, bit of a weird one thats been bugging me for a while. I'm running a 5.1 yamaha 675 receiver to my computer via hdmi to my gpu on my pc to achieve uncompressed 5.1 surround for gaming. It is twin Titan SLI setup on a 60hz 2560x1440 monitor, so i cannot pass-through an hdmi through the receiver as you usually would. I therefore must connect the monitor to the gpu via display port and the receiver separately via hdmi. This is the problem, when the receiver is connected to the gpu via hdmi it shows as a seperate 1080p monitor that is being powered by one of my Titans. The only way this functions is if i 'extend these displays'. I've achieved the audio i want however i'm concerned this false display is draining gaming performance and causing SLI issues. Any advice you guys can give me would be greatly appreciated (I would rather not go down the optical spidf route)
