Thanks for your responses in advance,
Last year i gave my son my gaming rig and he loves it, for his birthday we bought him a second monitor that allows him to game and browse at the same time. this year for christmas we bought him a new crossblade ranger motherboard and black edition fm2+ processor (dont remember the number but it was the highest one) for a small upgrade to his rig. I also got him a triple monitor stand and a 3rd monitor (all by the same manufacturer) for an eyefinity setup. i was short 1 cable and with no stores open he rand the new setup with only 2 monitors for a night so we know it all worked perfectly with no issues using 1 hdmi and 1 dvi cable.
the problem happened when i plugged the 3rd monitor into the gpu the next day. i cant find a thread as to what happens when i use 3 non displayport outputs, what i do see is everyone says every 3rd monitor has to be a mdp or dp output. id just like to know if i fried the card or if there is something i can do.
after i plugged the 3rd monitor in i cant get a display from the dgpu no matter which port or how many i use. the mobo outputs work as long as the dgpu is not installed. i know its getting power because the fans work.
rig specs:
asus crossblade ranger fm2+
a10 7870k apu
amd hd 7870 devil gpu
ocz 1000w z series 80 plus gold psu
16gb (4x4gb) 2133mhz team extreme memory
corsair water cooler for the cpu
rosewill blackhawk ultra case
... not sure if anything else matters but if you need to know pls ask
if its something simple to fix ill give it a shot. hes gaming off the apu at the moment. if i need a new graphics card please advise to the best one for a 3 or 4 monitor eyefinity or nvidia surround @400.00 usd is the budget
ive been out of the loop so im not up to speed as to the new graphics specs and what cards are best now. i will say that the monitors are all from the same manufacturer with the same 1920x1080 res and same size, but not the same model. what ive read says this might be an issue for nvidia? unsure,
any and all help is much appreciated
