Hello,
after i updated my rig with Sandy Bridge platform, I experienced strange problem. My active Sapphire displayport to DVI adapter cannot detect my third Dell 2209WA correctly, so i wasn't use Eyefinity technology.

After week i found a workaround (inspired in this forum, thanks, if anyone needed, feel free to ask) , but it means one of my monitor is "detected" asi different one. So actually I am not able to use bezel corrections.

Finally, I tried direct displayport interconnection yesterday and everything was fine.

It seems to be problem is in Sapphire DP->DVI active adapter. So I would like to ask you dear members, is there anybody who uses Sandy Bridge platform and any of active DP->DVI adapters succesfully? If any, please tell me what adapter you use. There in Czech Republic is only one manufacturer (Sapphire) which is not functional. And before i wil order any other adapter (from UK or USA), I need to know if it will be OK.

Thanks (and sorry for my English)

Thanks for welcome me :wink:
But you have Nehalem s.1366 Intel X58, aren't you? Problem is only with Cougar Point PCH.

Thanks for reply,
at least i sold my Sapphire card and Adapter, and i ordered FleX edition of HD6950. It should be better sollution than any adapter.
Please can you tell me about connection in crossfire (because i had a good offer to 2x HD 6870)?
Can I use two DVI ports on primary card and one on secondary? Or I must use only one card for connection to all monitors?
