You need to use a DisplayPort to DVI with an active adapter in order to have all three displays driving. The DVI and HDMI share on clock and the other DVI has its own clock.

Good luck.

You still need a displayport adapter:

As I said, the DVI shares a clock generator with the HDMI so you can only use 2 out of the 3 ports (the two DVI and the HDMI) and then you need to use the display ports.

I built a couple hundred PCs at a shop and people wanted three monitors all the time. This is the only way to do it.
