Not sure whether this is correct. I have only one Screen section
for 2 monitors (that's before I change the configuration with
xrandr when logging in, because I actually have 3 monitors):
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
Option "Stereo" "0"
Option "metamodes" "DP-3: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, DP-4: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
Option "SLI" "Off"
Option "MultiGPU" "Off"
Option "BaseMosaic" "off"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
In your case, the metamodes option should probably be
Option "metamodes" "HDMI-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0, DVI-D-0: nvidia-auto-select +0+0"
I don't know what "{AllowGSYNC=Off}" is about.
Also check the xrandr output: both monitors should be "connected"
with a screen geometry shown.
For instance, in my case:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 7680 x 2160, maximum 16384 x 16384
