I originally had 3 monitors working very well on 2 ati radeon 6800 cards. A Dell 1703FP and 2001FP hooked up to both DVI-I on top card and a Dell U3011 with a display-port cable to same card. Had 2440x1960 resolution on the 30". My cable has gone all digital so I had to get a HDHomerun prime/cable card setup and found that my display errors on the 30" were due to a display-port cable being non-HDCP compliant. I then hooked that 30" monitor up with hdmi, have to accept lower resolution of 1920x1200, but am able to watch all the DRM cable content now over the HDHomerun prime.
I read that the display-port had to be used to enable 3 monitors so I purchased a DVI-I to display-port adapter and hooked the 1703 up that way but still can only enable 2 monitors at once. This is really giving me a headache.
Anyone know the solution to this dilemma?
Thanks,
Steve

You'd need an "active" DisplayPort to DVI adapter, like this one: https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=12784

Hope that helps!

Thanks,yes, I got one of those and still could only get two monitors enabled at once, even with one dvi on the second dvi output and hdmi and display-port/dvi adapter. I have got all three running now after removing the Crossfire bridge. I don't know that I ever needed it anyway as I never gamed. I have one dvi and the hdmi on the top card and the display-port/dvi adaptor on the bottom card. Only now I am getting a lot of pixelation on a half dozen of the high definition high number channels. I am hoping that is solved when I get a new HDHomerun power supply. I found I had a 5V 2A ps that is working but the OEM is 5V 3A. Should have it Friday. Hoping the low power is the reason for weak signal there. The power supply lasted all of five days brand new...
