Triple Monitors on OCUK Primo Neo system

[gav6559]

Hi,

I am wondering if anyone is able to assist me.

I purchased the Primo Neo system which has a Gigabyte H55M-UD2H motherboard.
This has been running two Benq monitors for 6 months using two of the onboard connectors.

Earlier this month i purchased a third identical monitor and planned to run it on the third digital graphics socket on the back of the MB.

The three monitors are now connected as shown below:
H55M-UD2H - HDMI -------------- DVI (Benq G2222HDL)
- DVI -------------- DVI (Benq G2222HDL)
- DisplayPort -------- DVI (Benq G2222HDL)

With this setup Windows 7 will only allow me to use two monitors at any one time. If i enable the third one in the Win7 'Screen Resolution' menu, it will instantly disable one of the other two monitors.

Is there anyway that i can get three monitors working with my current setup?

If not, what is the cheapest way to get the third working. I am not a gamer, and only require extended desktop space.

Thanks for your time

Gavin

Unfortunately your system can only run two max, regardless of the amount of monitor connections.
You can run the third monitor off this, but it depends if you can still use the onboard GPU: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-193-XF&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=168

How can i check that the additional card will not disable the onboard graphics.

I'd have no issues paying that sort of money to fix the problem.

If the above doesn't work, could i add the below gfx card and run all the monitors on the one card? (Although i'd prefer not to pay this much)

Best way is to check in BIOS, although I don't know what you're meant to look for within the BIOS

Yes, that will work. I just tried to look for a cheaper Eyefinity card... seems silly they're Eyefinity capable but don't come with Displayport.

There's this if you don't mind running one monitor off VGA, but for some reason the product description says it only has DVI and Displayport : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-226-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1699

If you don't mind the price. the 5770 would be the bes thing

@Orcvader & Cleeecooo
Thanks for the suggestions, but i would like to avoid using VGA. I'm welcome to any other suggestions though.

I already have HDMI-DVI cable, DVI-DVI Cable, and Active DisplayPort-DVI adaptor.
