Connecting third monitor to a single (AMD) gpu. DPP to HDMI?
Hi,
So i'm running Ubuntu at the moment, and because AMD's linux drivers suck, i can't use my third monitor. It's connected to the igpu via HDMI, but that doesn't work. But don't worry about that.
I'm using the two DVI ports on my R9 280x for my other two monitors. So can i use a displayport to hdmi connector to connect the third monitor to my discrete gpu. I recall reading about the "clocks" for each connection to the gpu, so i'm not entirely sure that this will work.
Not that it matters, but here's the cable: https://www.ple.com.au/ViewItem.aspx?InventoryItemId=612920
Thanks in advance
TLDR: can i connect a third monitor to my AMD gpu with a DPP to HDMI cable?
It won't work without a signal converter, if you use a simple adapter cable it will be exactly the same as using another DVI/HDMI port, which won't work because you can only have two of those running at once on that family of cards.
