I have the XFX Radeon R9 270X Double Dissipation 2G Video card.

http://xfxforce.com/en-us/products/amd-radeon-r9-200-series/amd-radeon-r9-270x-double-dissipation-edition-r9-270x-cdfc

It has 2 Display Ports 1 HDMI and 2 DVI(1 DVI-I and 1 DVI-D).

I know I can only use 2 of the 3 in combination with the DVI and HDMI ports, but how do I set it up to where the other 2 monitors run of the 2 display ports? I have been searching the internet and have had no luck. I can only get 3 monitors to work at once.

Any suggestions? or are there other parts I need to purchase to get all 4 to work at the same time?

I purchased this card specifically because it said on the box that it could support 4 monitors instead of the standard 3 without anything else, but I'm at a loss now, I can't figure it out.

Thanks,
Drew

Hello,

The 3rd and 4th monitor need to use the mDP outputs. If you are using adapters, they need to be active. if only 1 out of 2 is working, its likely that the 4th screen isnt enabled, or the adapter/monitor is faulty. it could be a faulty minidisplayport, but it is extremely rare.
