Hello,

Currently I'm running monitors on the HD6670 through 2 of its 3 options; its DVI and HDMI ports. Now trying to link a 3rd monitor up via its Displayport using an adapter - Displayport to HDMI - cable but no activity is displayed and the system cannot seem to find a 3rd monitor.

Is there a way I can work out if it is a system settings issue, a graph card problem or a faulty cable?

Hope someone can advise.

Solution
The DisplayPort to HDMI adapter must be active in order for that to work. If you have a passive adapter that will not work. Again the adapter must be active.

Moments after posting I caught sight of Passive/Active adapters being discussed. I have a funny feeling that the adapter cable I have is more than likely passive.

Thank you bryonhowley.
