Hi guys..
I own an HD 6970 videocard.
I have 3 monitors which use DVI connections.
I have an ACTIVE mini dp which converts to either VGA/HDMI

well, the issue I am having is that the 3rd monitor only works when using the mini dp via VGA. If I try to use an HDMI cable and connect an adapter on the other end that converts to DVI (connects to the monitor) it won't work.. why does it only work when using the VGA section of the mini dp port?
