Widescreen Gaming Forum

Hello to everyone I would like to say that I am very excited about my new purchase of my 3rd 24 inch Asus VH242H monitor I had a bit of trouble learning about Active Displayports and ended up with A ATI Sapphire / sapp ACTIVE DPtoDVI upto 24in

I now have it working so when i boot up my pc all 3 screens make 1 desktop my problems starts when I start a game my Displayport looses it link
I get an error pop up saying

Your Active Display Port link has been lost the current resolution can not be maintained

or something along those lines

now if I Ctrl+Alt+Del and then Log Off my Display Port regains it's connection and becomes active now when I log In and Start My Game If I am Quick all Works OK and I can run the game At 5760x1080.

Have I missed something Is there a plain reason why I have to Log Out and Log In again before I can Play
Many thanks For your time and ongoing suppor tin to this matter

I own that same card, the Sapphire HD5870 Vapor-X. Based on my own experience and another forum post that I read somewhere, the card is causing the problem. The only solution that ever worked for me out of a huge number tried was to get a second video card. I went with an inexpensive Asus HD5850 TOP, which works in Crossfire mode with the HD5870. If I put the Vapor-X in the primary PCI-Express slot, the monitor connected to the displayport adapter loses its link. If I instead put the HD5850 in the primary slot, there are zero issues. You need to either return the card if possible or get a second one. In my case, everything is great now because games run more smoothly in Eyefinity, and my fourth monitor is doing more than collecting dust.
