You can only use 2 of the 3 hdmi/dvi connectors simultaneously. You'd need to use displayport for more displays.

Basically this, you would need to get a displayport adapter. You have to make sure it's an active adapter though

 

What signal do you want it to convert? (HDMI, DVI) I'll send you a link :)

You could get a display port adapter, or you could use a USB to HDMI adapter.

How would that do anything one of the displays must run on DP.

What do you mean by that?

You said use an USB to HDMI, that wouldn't help would it you need to use a DP on one of the displays, so why not buy a DP to HDMI.

It would work because USB to HDMI adapters work independently, but using a display port adapter would be a better option.

Then how will he use eyefinity if it works independently  ?
