3 Screens on 7970

[RichB]

Hi
i have MSI 7970 and want 3 screens connected for gaming and CAD work.
1 27 " screen connected via HDMI.
1 19" VGA connected with an adapter to DVI.
1 19" VGA connected with an adapter to MINI Display Port.
I cannot get the screen on the Mini Display Port to work.
The Eyefinity software will not see any screen connected to the Mini..
Any Help cos its driving me mad.......

Without any research into this - wouldn't this be because a display port connection is digital, wheras your VGA monitor is analogue? DVI can handle both (depending on type)

You may need an active display port adapter.
