Got some good news sold 1 of my dells. and won on ebay same monitor but brand new with display port £102.00 well chuffed. got new monitor and £30.00 Bonus. ;) will let u know how i get on.

just seen this


The ATI guy Dave on B3D forum confirmed this. There are only 2 display engines that drive legacy ports (non DP ports), so 1 must be a display port. Apparently AMD are in talks with monitor manufactures about getting a adapter supported.

I just realised something else that might be effecting things, are your DVI cables dual-dvi or single-dvi? It could be that the use of dual-dvi cables makes it so it can't push 3 displays, while using single-dvi bandwidth cables might? I'm thinking along the lines that dual-dvi will pull 2x the ...

How about trying DVI, DP and HDMI like they did in the article? That ATI website says it requires Catalyst 9.10 or newer.

Ok ill give that a go ill let u know what happends.

I personly think ATI know what there doing they didnt want to tell ppl what they would need. they will leave it a week or so then say u need this £90 adapter. :evil:
