Hi
I have an issue with my secondary display not being detected on my Radeon RX480, which is connected via two different adaptors to get to HDMI.
I previously had working: Radeon 6870 --> MiniDP out --> Convert to HDMI (StarTech MDP2HDS) --> HDMI monitor.
I upgraded to an RX480, which has full size display port so I bought a DP to miniDP adaptor. The rest of the signal chain stayed the same.
However, the secondary display is not detected.

These are the miniDP to HDMI adaptor I have (they're the active type):

These are the DisplayPort to MiniDisplayPort adatpors:

The graphics card is the Sapphire RX480, though being reference design, I presume it doesn't make a difference...
My driver version is: Radeon Software Version 16.7.2
I'm using Win7 64bit.
My guess is the DP to miniDP are the issue, but I wandered if anyones got any suggestions other than buying DP-HDMI.
Any RX480 users out there successfully converting DisplayPort to HDMI? Which adaptors are working or any tricks to get it to work?
Cheers
Steve
