We are using a PC/Server with two GPUs to be able to use 5 screens and a TV screen for our production direction.
vMix supports up to 4 screens which is not sufficient for our setup.
All 6 screens are working within Windows 10.

At this moment four screens are recognised within vMix.
The four screens shown in vMix appear to be chosen randomly as these screens are not only ones chosen from one GPU.
We are fine with using only 4 screens for vMix but the screens which we would like to choose (eg. multiview on the TV) are not selectable.
This results in the situation that we would like to use certain screens for full screen use (multiview, output, preview) but they are not selectable because vMix only shows 4 screens.
Also the screens are not in the same order as Windows, nor NVIDIA's numbering.

Our feature request is for vMix to support multiple fullscreen outputs.
We would like to be able to at least be able to choose from all screens available and not maximum 4 random screens.
If possible we would like to be able to use 3 screens as fullscreen outputs (multiview, output, preview).

GPUs used:
NVIDIA GeForce GT 710
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti

If you watch back past episodes of the VFTLS (I can't tell you which one), you will find a very detailed explanation from Martin why this is not possible. In short, it is a limitation of the underlying technology (hardware etc) not vMix. Consequently it is not recommended to use multiple GPUs.
