What Video Card ?

Radeon HD 6970 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E w/ Dual DVI, HDMI, Dual DisplayPort

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the 6970's need passive adaptors?

no idea i just brought what the guy told me at the store he seemed to know what he was talking about maybe he did not and i wasted money

Is ACTIVE stamped anywhere on the adapter? You need an active adapter. They go for about $25 on Newegg.

yep it says active on the the part but i just found out this unit only supports 1920x1200 so i seems so it might not be good enough to run a 24inch screen and 2 23 inch screens what do u guys think might hae to get a better one if so what one would u suggest
