Post subject:  Attempting to run 3 monitors and Eyefinity | Can't get 3rd Display Working
G'day,

Wasn't sure where to post this, so I just threw it in here.

I'm trying to run 3 monitors in my setup.
Currently I have them setup as:
1 X BenQ 27" HDMI connected
1 x Samsung 21" DVI connected
1 x Dell 24" DVI > ActiveDisplay Port Connected with the adpater
Running a AMD 6950.

I have read that you may only use the one side of the GFX card for Eyefinity?

My problem is: I can't get the monitor using my DVI > ActiveDisplay Port adapter to turn on (run/get a signal/etc.). I've tried switching the DVIs around between the normal DVI port and DisplayPort (with adapter) but to no success. I am only going to run the 27" with HDMI.

I am up to date with CCC drivers and the third screen is not detected in CCC nor the Windows Screen Resolution Settings.


Hope there is someone out there that can provide me with a bit of help. Cheers!

This may be a silly question, but I only ask because I made the mistake when I had my AMD rig and was using a display port adaptor...do you have the right input selected on that monitor?

It's stupid, but I did this and was struggling to figure out what was wrong...then I change the input on the monitor and presto :) hope it helps.

Oh, I should state that I wasn't using an active display port adaptor...I heard there was a lot of dramas using them, so I just purchased a monitor that had a display port...10x easier and better. So I would suggest this...there are some good monitors that aren't too expensive that have display ports :)

Good luck.

So the Monitor connected with DVI Nativ works ?
might be a broken adapter ?

If you unplug your HDMI Monitor, does it work then ?

Yeah i'd checked my inputs.

I'm beginning to the think the adapter's faulty. I'll see if i can get it replaced under warranty.
