What did i get wrong?

gofsgtg · 30 Dec 2010 at 23:05

I need help. I just go a 3rd screen i wanted to have a 3 screen gaming set up. My Pc only has VGA ports so i went out and brought a splitter but that didnt do what i wanted it to it just mirrored the other screen. Im getting a new g-card: Radeon HD 5830. I was wondering What cable do i need and will that g-card work?
( I dont know much about computers)

and i dont think the dp is working it shows up on the display settings but nothing is showing on the monitor any help?

At the moment we dont know whats wrong so i think i might see if i can return the card and ask about at pc world and such but if any of you know of a card with 2 dvi and 1 dp port under £120 thats you know good that would be epic thanks

and could i get the same 3 screen setup with a nvida card because ive had a nvida card for good part of 6 years now and its never let me down the first time i get a ati it ****s up the video drivers going all the time 1 day after i brought and making my games run slower than a 4 year old card. So yeah is there a good nvida card with 2 dvi and one DP (£120 max)
thank you
