displayport-hdmi wont work unless its an active adapter, i had the same problem i got a mini dp to hdmi and it will see it as hdmi so you will have 2 hdmi's connected so you need to get an active adapter.

Okay, thank to all of your suggest, i will get active adapter tomorrow or by end of week. If it didn't work, i need other solutions. And question to Kapitalistas, all 3 monitor is 1920x1080, i dont see any wrong with that, my computer know third is here, but it wont let me connect, as if two is limited, but i know that my GPU allowed more than 3.
