im not using displayport because i dont have a adapter

my problem is every time i connect all 3 monitors, dvi monitor always disconnect then reconnect again. like every 2 second connect then disconnect.
but if i unplug the vga w/ dvi adapter monitor. the dvi monitor is ok.. means it only allows me to use only 2 monitor.

THe issue is that you're using a 260x which is basically a Radeon HD 7790. This card can only use 2 monitor that are not DP. The cheapest way to alleviate this is to buy a cheap DP -> VGA adapter. If you are wanting to go DVI form DP, you are going to need an "Active" adapter. Most DP->DVI adapters are passive and you'll be in the same issue you're in now if you buy a passive adapter.

wow thanks. thats solve my problem, i go for DP->VGA.. is there a passive/active DP-->VGA? or passive/active only applies to DP--> DVI ..
sorry if im too noob about this

VGA adapters from DP are all active
DVI and HDMI can be active or passive
