I have a R9 270x VaporX card and I dont really know how to set my triple display up properly.

2 is plugged in the gpu and 1 is in my motherboard.

all three need to be hooked up to the card


one screen must use the displayport

displayport > active adapter > VGA

HDMI > HDMI monitor

DVI > active adapter > VGA

Active: converts digital video output signal from GPU to analog video input so you can use a monitor that's analog only (D-SUB VGA port) with a graphics card that's digital only (DVI, HDMI or DP).

Passive: doesn't convert the video signal, it's just a cable with a different connector at each end.
