So, I have OBS Studio installed on an MSI board with an i7 4690 CPU, and an old radeon hd 7870 GPU on Windows 10.
I'm running three monitors, two of which is connected at the ports of my HD7870 and one which is connected to the HDMI output of my motherboard.

I have them setup in this order: 3 (the left monitor, connected to my motherboard), 2 (my main, the center monitor, connected to the HD7870), 2 (the right monitor, also connected to my HD 7870) - so it's: 3,1,2
Monitor 3 and 2 are turned 90 degrees and provides a 1080x1920 resolution while the main monitor in the center (2) is on your standard 1920x1080 resolution.

When I'm trying to set up a 'monitor source' (or whatever it's called in english), I only see the screen of the monitor connected to the motherboard (3).
OBS Studio doesn't regognize the other two monitors (1 and 2) connected to the Radeon HD7870.

This is really annoying cause I'd like to record and stream the one screen that is oriented properly, how do I fix this?

It might be worth noting that I can project a full screen preview to any monitor I choose, so somehow, the problem is recognizing the other two monitors as sources.

Then disconnect the monitor from the motherboard and connect it to your main video card.

And I swear I have had this setup working before, but sometime along with some update, this problem occured. It has to be a setting somewhere.

Yeah, I figured something like that'd be the case. The question is, how do I change the active video card in OBS? Because it finds it both as fullscreen projectors, and I'm able to use the H264/AVC Encoder (AMD Advanced Media Framework) -encoder.

Oh, wait, I've found a solution.
Apparently setting the main monitor to the one connected to the motherboard, then switching it back to the intended main monitor solved the issue.
And thanks for the replies!
Hope it helps someone else with the same error.
