Dear All,

Merry Christmas!

I have a 7970 Vapor X 6GB Graphics Card. 1 HDMI, 2x MDP 2x DVI.
I'm trying to Extend to a 3rd Monitor but CCC will only disable one not extend to a 3rd monitor. I have digged around but couldn't find a clear answer so sorry if this has been asked 100000 times.

I have tried 2xMDP 1 HDMI & 1 DVI and a normal HDMI connection but to no avail, is it the case I need an Active Adaptor for CCC to allow me to Extend or is there some way I could work around it.

As it Stands after trying that my connection is 1 MDP HDMI, 1 HDMI & 1 DVI. The card has a Dual Link DVI if that helps?

My screen the ASUS VK287Q LED Monitor has a MD Input would this work? If so does anyone know of the cable I need I don't recognise it?

Sorry if not clear, and If I've answered my own question!


Hope everyone is having a nice Christmas!

Cheers

Ryan

sorry, no way around it. you need an active adapter for the third monitor digital connection. or maybe it will work with a dvi to dsub (vga) adapter.
