Hello guys i have a Radeon R9 270x, recently i bought this adaptor dealextreme soo i can use a third monitor on my setup since i dont have any displayport one.

 

I can setup two monitor's even using the adaptor, but everytime i try to enable the third one my windows says to me that it cant be done, there is anyway i can make this work? There are some screen shots on the link bellow showing what is happening.

one monitor must be native display port - adapters won't help.

Can you send me a link to the adaptor you bought?

 

Btw i'm using a displayport to hdmi, hdmi and dvi. And i really thought that the adaptor i bought was an active one.
