Yes, however you will need an active displayport adapter or a displayport to vga adapter to activate the 3rd monitor on the 5770.

Yes, as above.

Now with that said.. there is a HUGE difference between extending your desktop to 5 monitors, and playing games on 5 monitors... You ...

- I am considering building a Core I7 system with 2 PCI express X16 slots. Do all LGA1366 motherboards with 2 or more PCI express X16 slots support 2 video cards?

- I currently have a 4550 card and a 5770 card. Can I install both of those and run 3 monitors on the 5770 (1 is display port) and 2 ...

after I returned the MSI 5670 and got the XFX 5770 up and working. MSI sent me an email saying they updated the video card bios to resolve this issue.

oh well.

Thats odd, I thought the entire 5000 line was suppose to support 3.

Yeah,
Maybe eyefinity just means the ability to group 2 or more displays? I suppose if that's the case then they do probably all support eyefinity.

I also noticed that about half of the 5670 cards on newegg do not ...

I got my 5770 with the 10.3 preview installed. With no issues at all, I'm able to make any combination of 3 duplicated, extended, and / or grouped displays. I couldn't do anything with a 4th display but I wasn't expecting to.

I don't have much faith in the 56XX or lower cards for eyefinity, but ...

I was able to RMA the MSI 5670. I just ordered the XFX 5770 and an Antec 650 watt power supply as a replacement. Surely that will work with my setup.

thanks for everyone's help!

I called MSI tech support twice, They finally admited it only supports 2 displays, even thought the back of the box says it supports 3 when using a display port monitor. Won't be buying an MSI card again.

I dont think you should get an active adapter. If anything, I would swap the card for another one.

Maybe you have the wrong DVI plugged in?

Try changing the plug.

Although if you are willing to drop 100$ on a plug ...

Unlike in the video when I go to duplicate the 3rd monitor it tells me I have to disable one of the other 2.

It should work. Do you get an image on all 3 screens?

I never get an image on all 3 at the same time as I have no way to make all 3 active.

I can run any combination of 2 monitors using the windows display settings or the catalyst control center.

I purchased an MSI 5670 video card and a Dell displayport monitor. I already had 2 acer monitors. I only have the option to create a 2 monitor group. 3x1 or 1x3 is not an option. Any ideas? Is the display port on my monitor a passive port?
