No what I meant was since the card has 2mini, dvi and hdmi... i just basically need 4 different connectors(streams) to get the signal? I was trying to use the splitter but it didn't work for me.

Btw p5q is my old profile. I don't have that mobo anymore.

I'll try two mini, dvi, dvi-hdmi adapter and let you know.

Just to make sure you got it:
monitor 1: miniDP to miniDP or active miniDP to HDMi or active miniDP to DVI
monitor 2: miniDP to miniDP or active miniDP to HDMi or active miniDP to DVI
monitor 3: HDMI to HDMI or HDMI to DVI
monitor 4: DVI to DVI or DVI to HDMI.

Alexoiu,

So I've got all four plugged in, computer recognizes 4 BUT only 2 visible. What would be the step now to get catalyst setup right?

Yes, that's the reason. There was an warning on that page (Customers reviews):
"Just an FYI this is not an active adapter. I was under the mistaken impression that it was.
Not the products fault, it works fine, just not as an adapter for a third monitor."
Try returning them and look for adapters that specifically say active.
