Then I connected that S-DVI-D cable to the HTMI socket on the card & both screens now show OK.
Hopefully when I get 2 proper DVI cables & connect them to the DVI sockets of the card & the monitors I may get all 3 screens working.
With your help folks am geting there slowly. ............nick |

Sorry but please disregard above requests for help.
Overclockers verified to me:-
1. that Ati Radeaon 5770 Flex will run FSX, it does not !!.
2. that all cables needed for 3 screens are in the box, none usable was found, & 4 cables needed extra £100. |
