Hello, Currently I have 2 monitors both running on DVI to DVI...I just went out and bought a DP to HDMI cable so that I could duplicate 2 of my displays and have one extended...Because what I want to do is duplicate my main display and TV across the room and have my 2 monitors as normal, But now I have my ASUS 6950 2gb with 2 DVI's and a display port plugged into it it won't let me extend/duplicate to the third monitor...Is there any way I can fix this? :(

Thanks in advance,

Andy.
 
you need a active mini dp to dvi adaptor, and if you then want to go hdmi you can just add a dvi to hdmi to it which i tried and did work
 
Hi there,

From experience, most HD 6950 cards come with mini-displayport (as old gamer alluded to), not the full-size ones. Though I would definitely check this before buying.

Therefore, I would google "StarTech Mini DisplayPort to DVI Active Adapter" and see what you find (should be around £22 also).

I would usually link to the product on OCUK shop, but unfortunately I can't see one any more :(
 
Well this is the back of my card currently...

So I guess the one that I posted will work?

Thanks in advance.
