| ISSUE IS FIXED :rockout: . It turned out to be the drivers. I really should have reinstalled the drivers from the get go :doh: :oops: . Let this be a lesson people! I thought about doing it a million times, but it didn't seem logical why only 1 monitor wouldn't work. So something seems to happen lat... |

| Got the adapter. I was pretty sure that it wasn't going to work but AMD support seemed pretty confident. It didn't. So when I told them, I got this in response: Your service request has been escalated to one of our experts who can better address your questions. We appreciate your patience, and thank... |

| The saga continues lol. My email was down a few days so I thought AMD support had written me off. They have been actively helping me now and a solution might be in sight. AMD Global Support: Thankfully for our FirePro and Radeon products, only one connection out of 3 needs to be active. The card ca... |

Tested the cables and issue still exists. I really thought Eyefinity would have been more fleshed out at this stage of the game. Pretty dissapointing really. Well at least now I can concentrate on the xfire micro-stuttering  |

| I've decided to try these http://www.accellcables.com/B143B.html They are supposedly VESA compliant. Tiger Direct has them on sale. Should get them this week and I'll post my findings. I've also opened a support ticket with AMD for the heck of it. It could be worse. I can still enjoy this PC. It's j... |

| Called MSI support, talked to Greg, and informed him updating the MB bios did not fix the issue. His next troubleshooting tip was to have me try each card only 1 at a time, in each slot. Result? Same exact issue with each card in either slot. So I think that rules out the MB. When I told him the onl... |

| This might be a stretch, but it could be the cables. http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?t=33998432 I was starting to think this myself. That thread doesn't talk about the same exact issue but maybe it's related? When I look up the cables they talk about, there are conflicting reviews. And n... |

| Strange.... did you contact MSI customer support and ask them ? Yes. They were the ones who told me to update the MB bios which I did. I am calling them again tomorrow to let them know bios update did not help and see what they say. They did confirm that this setup should work, which I knew but it'... |

| Pulling my hair out with this lol. I'm trying to avoid the whole adaptor/ multi-output/ v-sync/ tearing fiasco by going with this setup. My video card has 4dp outputs. My 3 monitors are identical and all have dp inputs. I'm using simple cables (mdp --> dp) for each. I cannot get all 3 displays to wo... |
