Eyefinity problems

[ZZZAC]

today i got the final adapter i needed to set up eyefinity with my 3 19" vga screens on my ati 5830
so the card has 3 ports and supports eyefinity. (dvi, hdmi, minidisplay)
all 3 of my monitors are 19" vga yet the 2 outsides have the cable builf into the monitor and the one in the middle has an outer vga port to connect a cable up to

so i got my xfx mini display to dvi adapter, a few dvi to vga adapters, a few vga cables and a hdmi to vga adapter,

so i wired my midle screen directly to the vga to hdmi cable and into the hdmi port
The left monitor went : vga/dvi adapter to xfx minidisplay to gpu
and the right monitor went vga/dvi to gpu

now that should work right?
my graphics card only send signal to the right monitor, and detects the left monitor yet give no display on it no matter how much a mess about in amd vission centre, and the centre monitor that goes through hdmi is not detected at all, it doesnt even register a cable in the monitor.

i dont understand my problem just that its only detected 2 displays not sending signal to one and not picking up anything from the hdmi

ahh, so, hmmm so even thouhg my xfx display port is active i cant use it on vga and i can only use my hdmi through dvi?

The adapter may be active but only converts DP to DV-D so it's digital only, no analog output.

Which HD 5830 do you have?

The reference card has 2 dual link DVI-I connectors (which provide an analog output with an adapter), HDMI and DisplayPort.

saphiere xtreme, i would no if it had 2 div ports, hmm looks like ill change toa dvi monitor then get a second graphics card

not hpapy but should have looked into it a little more first :s

 

[ZZZAC]

Are you getting that déjà vu feeling?

hehe nahhhhh, was just a thought when all the kit that i needed anyway arrived, i dont even have a proper stand for 2 monitors :l

 

[ZZZAC]

yeah i shall get a card with 2 dvi and another adapter crossfire it and run 2 of dvi and a dvi monitor of a minidisplay or hdmi or sumnk
but good news is i just earnt £180 and for a 15 year old that's a pretty big payday
happy new year

I have some 26" Iiyama monitors for sale that work lovely in EF!

"when i get money" and i still cant afford 3 26" monitors, maybe one but 3 wouldnt fit on my desk
my desk would just magae a 24" widescreen without it hanging of the edge
