Hi guys i have the Radeon HD 5770 graphics card and i am currently trying to get 3 monitors running. However in the catylist control centre it only comes up with 2 monitors. I am on windows 7 I have the latest Driver The monitors are linked up with 2 DVI`s and 1 Display-Port to DVI. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ISVI3U/ref=s9_simh_se_p23_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=auto-no-results-center-1&pf_rd_r=1EGBXEC88EWJ33PZAKMN&pf_rd_t=301&pf_rd_p=1263465782&pf_rd_i=displayportbizlink) I honestly cannot figure out how to get it working. I have had the screens for nearly a year now and this is the second cable that i have bought and they are very pricey. Any help would be much apreciated. Thanks. |

The adapter may not be getting enough power. |

i had a display port to vga adapter, it worked then failed, is your adapter working?, try removing the dvi and just use the d/p and try on different moitors. |

I have had no luck with ACCELL adapters on either my HD 5770 or on my newer HD 6870. I tried using two of those very same adapters you link to in the first post. I won't ever bother with ACCELL again. On the HD 5770, they finally replied to my email request for support after over a week and told me that they had no solution for the problem and to return the adapter. After selling the HD 5770, I tried another one on the HD 6870. It, also, didn't work. I sent another email to ACCELL over a month ago and they still haven't bothered to respond. I AM, however, able to set up a 3x1 Eyefinity using a Monster-brand DP->VGA adapter. These cost about $50 USD. Many of us on this forum are using similar setups. |

You need one of the Dongles on this list: http://support.amd.com/us/eyefinity/Pages/eyefinity-dongles.aspx or from XFX Club3d or Powercolor ... The new Dongles show´s like a normal Adapter , because they have´t a Powercable to connect ,they get they power from USB But Normal Adapters didn´t work for Eyefinity you must Pay ~25-30$ or it´s a normal Adapter !!!! so Easy to Check I don´t understand why Everyday People have the same Question about Displayport-Adapters Maybe i make a Thread with all Information to stop that sh.. AND: DONT BUY THAT ASIAN OR CHINA SHIT THEY WILL WORK 5 MIN than crashed and work fine 5 min and crash and and and - this is Bullsh... and you can burn your $ at Home easyly I Have all Displayport-Adapters Tested (around 50) and you can trust me when i say this (you don´t must write me PN´s but you can ;-) ) |
