Problem with game only displaying on 2nd monitor in borderless window.

Ok, so this is weird.

I was using HDMI to connect my monitor to my computer, and the game worked fine. However, I only have the 1 HDMI cable at the moment, and needed it to run my PS3.

So, I'm using DVI connection now.

However, now the game will only render on my secondary monitor while in Borderless Window.

The monitors are identified correctly in my graphics settings.

Fullscreen -> Draws to monitor 1

WIndowed -> Draws to monitor 1

Borderless Window -> Draws to monitor 2

...any idea how to fix this? lol

    1.) switch the cable location on the back of the video card...

    2.) splurge, and go out and buy yourself another hdmi cable for the holidays...

    Same problem here essentially.  Monitor 1 was my DVI connection and it was working fine for all 3 display types.  However after taking a trip and coming back I decided to make my HDMI monitor my primary.  Now the game will not play in windowed full screen on the HDMI monitor which is properly set up as the primary monitor but will play in Full Screen on this monitor.  Annoying.
