help with triple monitor

[Cazushio]

i just got a gigabyte r9 280x and i read that i dont need a active DP to get triple screen. i dont plan to game on 3 screens, i just want to get 3 screen on at the same time.

 

the card has 1 DVI-D, 1 HDMI, 2 min DP for output.

right now im using:

main monitor - HDMI>DVI>DP>mini DP (yes i know its stupidly long)

second minotor - DVI>DVI

tv - HDMI>HDMI

 

all screens at 1080p and 60fps.

 

cant get 3 screen on at the same time. help please

 

thanks

Have you set up your eyefinity group from within Catalyst Control Center?.

 

You will need to create a display group > Arrange your display then set a preferred display.

Just a little pointer, Download the addon called Hydravision (its on the same page you get drivers from), it makes opening programs so much easier as they wont automatically fullscreen

Check out display fusion.. i was told its good, but since i  dont have desk real estate to house 3 monitors i cannot confirm it..

[Cazushio]

nope i havnt found a way to get it to work, dont really want to speed money on a active displayport, but looks like i will have too

You need an active adapter to get it to work. Any more than 2 monitors need an active adapter, and any more than 3 each one needs an active adapter.
