GeForce GT 710 - Ubuntu is slow and unresponsive when more than one monitor is connected

Slavia7

Just bought two new 4k monitors but of reasons unknown Ubuntu 22.04.1 Jammy gets unresponsive and slow when I connect more than one monitor. Tested on windows with 4 monitors and all works perfect. So where to begin with troubleshooting? Have slim troubleshooting knowledge but will begin showing output -

I had a Intel Haswell based system with nVidia GT620. Found the Haswell's internal video was higher spec for most things than the nVidia card. Does that card even support 2 4K displays?

In Windows 7 running 3 monitors in 4k and one in a less resolution with NO problem. for hours. Still banging my head on the wall trying to figure out what is wrong. Maybe its a setting somewhere, or driver is not good. Have reinstalled the nvidia driver and still problem. Now thinking maybe its a desktop manager issue also.

Does this correctly ID your new monitors? `sudo get-edid | parse-edid` You may need to install `sudo apt install read-edid` Also shows other info on monitor. `

Brother thank you for reaching out to someone in desperate need of help. I ended up purging the whole complete nvidia package with - sudo apt purge *nvidia*. Autoremoved any leftovers and rebooted and then using standard Nouveau. This acctually worked fine in multiple monitor setup but I decided to install nvdidia once again, via Software and update, additional drivers and then picking correcy proprietary driver. Rebooted and now works even better than before. Odd indeed. However I will have second thoughts running Ubuntu because I use this on a business critical system.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
