multiple monitors

[mkueffler]

I have a radon hd 6900 graphics card, I want to run all three monitors (NEC accusync LCD203wxm). I have been running two with two DVI cambles coming from the two DVI ports on the graphics card. I bought a hdmi cable so I could hook up a third monitor from hdmi on card to DVI on monitor. it dont recognize the hdmi monitor. please help

i also have a trippleheadtogo box and i cant get it to work either lol

The third monitor can only be run off the DisplayPort with an active adapter. Is your card standard DisplayPort or MiniDisplayPort?

You of course will need a DVI cable.

what I did was buy another 6970 card and crossfired them. now I have three monitor display like I wanted. I plugged the first two monitors into the two dvi ports on the first card and then plugged the third monitor into a dvi port on the second card.

however I tried to do the eyefinity, all three monitors working as one wide one. I can not get it to work on all three, i can get it to work on two. I wonder if I have to hook them up differently on the cards them selves? the guids from the web page of xfxforce.com are not very good.

To get Eyefinity, you MUST hook them up to ONE card EXACTLY like I described.
