connecting 3 monitors

[zheavy]

I need help with connecting 3 monitors to my PC:

I have a Radeon 7850  graphics card, ports are:

• 1 DVI-D
• 1 DVI-I
• 1 HDMI
• 1 Display port

My monitors all have "VGA" port (basically useless), 1 of them have HDMI, and 2 of them have DVI-D.

I'm currently using 1 HDMI port 1 DVI-D port.

 

I've tried plugging the 3rd using DVI-D in DVI-I port but that doesn't work, only one of the monitors using that port turns on.

 

Any converters I can get or any workarounds for this? thanks

They make converts for pretty much every video port to every video port 

 

so get VGA to DP or whatever is cheaper that your GPU has open

As the guide Glenwing linked says, you'll need a adaptor.

Although if you have a integrated gpu, you could use that.

 

Edit: Huh, I totally forgot about that limitation. Why you so annoying AMD.

Thanks for your reply, I had no idea there's a limitation on my card.
