Problems with multiple monitors

[oliver2601]

Ok, so I've got two Benq G2222HDL's running at 1080p on an XFX 695(7)0.

However, I would like to add a third "monitor" (asda own brand 26" 720p) via hdmi, which I wouldn't think would be a problem considering there's 2 DVI and 1 HDMI on the card.

The problem is that it won't let me use three at once, or even one of the Benq's with the 26".

Does anybody know why this is?

Note: I'm not bothered if it's three different desktops or two and one clone.

Hi there,

You need to use at least one Display Port (DP) connection to hook up three monitors to a modern AMD graphics card. If you only have DVI/HDMI monitors, then you need to use at least one active DP to DVI/HDMI adapter.

If your 6950 has a mini-DP connection, then this will work fine. If it is full size DP then you can either use this adapter and a cable that converts between standard DP to mini DP or get a different active adapter which has a full size DP input.
