OK, here's the deal- I have a Asus 5970 card 2GB , and three LG2486 monitors with the following outputs: DVI, HDMI and VGA. I want to connect and set all three monitors to a single display for gaming. Can anyone tell me: What monitor outputs can/should I use and What adapters do I need, specifically do I need an (active?) mini-Display Port to VGA adapter OR an (active?) mini-Display Port to DVI adapter? I've read these and other forums for the last 4 hours and the room is starting to spin. Thanks in advance |

What adapters do I need, specifically do I need an (active?) mini-Display Port to VGA adapter OR an (active?) mini-Display Port to DVI adapter? Mini-Display Port to VGA adapter is not active. Mini-Display Port to DVI adapter is active. I believe you can use either. Mini-Display Port to VGA adapter will not give you the blinking DP display issue (apparently) YET the display quality may be degraded as it's an analog signal. Cost ~$30. Mini-Display Port to DVI adapter gives a digital output. Cost ~$100. IMO, go for the active Mini-Display Port to DVI adapter. |
