I have some problems with my Sapphire HD6950 (dirt3 edition).

I have two Dell u2311 monitors connected with the DVI connector. The third screen (samsung b2233) is connected with dvi -> dp connector.
Windows recognizes all 3 screens, but i can only make 2 active. I can swith from 2 dell screens to 1 active Dell and one active samsung, but i can't set all 3 on active.
I don't know what i'm doing wrong... Is the DP connector not good? It gives me a screen, so I guess is working.

I can order a DP cable (the dell screens are equipt with a DP port), but will this fix my problem?






The third connector is installed just below the first one (not displayed on the picture)


review of the card

Any ideas are welcome!

Is the adapter an active or passive adapter on display #3?

I guess a passive one (a friend of my had a spare one).
I already orded a DP cable, i hope this will solve the problem....

Another question, is it possible to setup a configuration with 3 screens (1920x1080) + (1920x1080) and on (1650x1050)??? Because i would like to play games with a 3 monitor setup, but one screen is just and old 16:10 screen and the 2 new ones are 16:9...

Can this be arranged with the bezel tool?

oops, double post and no delete option.

Eyefinity always requires an active adapter on the third display. DP to DVi single-link active adapters go for about $25 on Newegg. This is the most common question answered here. Surprised you didn't stumble across all the other similar situations in other posts.

sorry, the problem is already solved... I bought a DP cable, that solved my problem. Thanks for your reply.
