Hi all

So got my HD7970 card and wanted to connect 3 monitors, went and bought 2x mini DP to DVI adaptors and thought it would just be a matter of plugging 2 monitors through them and one into the DVI connector on the GFX card but this does not appear to work.

Have I bought the wrong things? Can someone advise on what I should have got or know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks
 
thanks for that, reading his set up it sounds like me he is just using the 2 display port to DVI's and the actual DVI connection on the card, his post says nothing about active adapters etc, so I dont know why mine isnt working right??
 
After hours of reading lol I think I need the following

1 monitor can attach direct to DVI slot

1 monitor can attach via passive mini displayport to DVI

1 monitor has to attach via active mini displayport to DVI

can anyone confirm beofre I go crosseyed

Thanks
 
My monitors have HDMI slots but I cant seem to get a picture when plugging a lead from the card directly into them from the PC, I can get pictures onthem using HDMI from the XBox
