When using the X.org X Server as the video driver, my monitor is being detected whatever DisplayPort I use on the two video card.
However, when I install the Nvidia drivers, none of the DisplayPort in 2nd video card are working. Plugging the monitor to them does not even provide a result to dmesg. I can only seem to utilize the 2 monitors using Nvidia drivers when I connect them both to the first video card.

Any ideas how to make the nvidia drivers work with two video cards?

What driver did you install and where did you get it from?

I used the additional drivers Tab on "Software & Updates", the version is 340.107 which also seems to be the same version available to be downloaded from the nvidia website for my video card.
