Hello ya'all,

I was wondering if there is any guidance on how to set up 3 Monitors that only have HDMI and VGA with the latest R9 290x since i read that one of the displays has to be connected through the display port.
I currently have the ASUS R290x (2 x DVI (Dual-Link, max 2560 x 1600), 1 x HDMI 1.4a, 1 x DisplayPort (DP 1.2)) and intend to get 3 of those (for the ultraslim bezel): http://www.aocmonitorap.com/root/anz/product_display.ph...

So the question is, what is the optimal adapter setup for getting 3x hdmi into that graphiccard and make eyefinity work?

Thank you guys in advance!

that has changed, you no longer need a DP for 3 monitors with Hawaii cards

AMD also improved their display controller hardware, so you can now use three HDMI/DVI monitors at the same time without having to buy an active DP-to-DVI adapter (this was a requirement to providing the TMDS clock signal for the third monitor on previous generation cards).


So 2 to the DVIs with simple adapters and one straight to the hdmi and you are good to go.
