Hi guys,

So I have been trying to find a solution for getting all three of my monitors enabled on my Graphics card, But have found that the ATI 6850 only supports two monitors between the Two DVI + 1 HDMI due to the fact that they use the same bandwidth, and I have no desire to spend stupid amounts of money to get an active display port adapter to work, So I looked on the back of my motherboard and can see I have Display-port and HDMI out, I have plugged a HDMI cable in from my third monitor to the board (32inch TV) but cannot get a signal on it and it does not display in windows.

Is it possible to have another monitor/TV connected via the motherboard or not?if it is how do I go about doing it? is there something in the bios I need to select?

Thanks!

go onto your bios, and you have to enable the igpu

Advanced Mode --> Advanced tab page--> System Agent Configuration sub-page --> Initiate iGPU setting
 
Have you installed the onboard graphics drivers and also the lucid virtu drivers on you motherboard, in that order?

Not sure how I go about doing that? can you download them direct from the Intel website?

EDIT: Don't worry, Popped up in windows update when I enabled it, Downloaded the lucid drivers and bam, awesome stuff.

thanks people!
