How to use three monitors using one GPU?

Anon34343 · Mar 27, 2014

I just recently bought a new monitor to replace my old second monitor, and I'm wondering how can I run all three at once? I've tried every possible cable combonation for the third monitor it feels like, and I get this every time: http://i.imgur.com/Es2ASEu.png

Here's my GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202025
Main monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236102
Second monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236112
Old and third monitor i'm trying to use: http://www.amazon.com/Flatron-E2041T-BN-LED-LCD-Monitor/dp/B004U5E46M/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

I've tried DVI TO DVI, DVI TO Displayport cable etc on the third monitor and nothing. How can I run all three and what's the best possible solution? Is it even possible for me?
Thanks.

AMD cards can only drive two cards on non-DP interfaces. You need an active DP to DVI adapter for at least one of the screens.

As the Mod says,

You need an active display adapter, for connection of the third display via the DP.
Or another port.

So what would you guys suggest I should buy to make it work? I'm really computer illiterate so I apologize in advance.

One of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812200944

There may be cheaper ones, but it's really hard to check that they're active, because some of the ones branded as active aren't.
