what version of drivers you using I have a feeling there were some issues with cross fire 5870's it would be worth making sure they're the most upto date

latest drivers im beggining to think i need to connect all 3 to 1 card and just xfire the other card? id need a display port adaptor then which is incredibly annoying!!!

i thought some cards came with the cable for free? probably wrong though. anyway overclockers sell the adapter for £80 but out of stock now
