Hello,
I'm running an AMD Radeon 6870 Card on Windows 7, and cannot get my computer to recognize the third monitor I just attached. Currently, my base two monitors are attached DVI to DVI and DVI to VGA, and the third is, using an active dongle, MiniDP to HDMI.

Any ideas?
Thanks!

You are using a passive adapter. You must use an active one. There are no active mini display port to hdmi adapters.

Well, if you're correct, then I'm going to be rather irritated, due to false advertising.
This is the adapter I'm using. It's marked as Active MiniDisplay to HDMI.
