The more I read the more I see conflicting info and the more confused I get. I'm hoping someone can clear this up.
I've got an HP HPE-450T. I'm swapping out the existing Geforce 315 for a
Sapphire 5570 with
DP
VGA
DVI.
I want to use these 3 monitors simulataneously.
VGA monitor
DVI monitor (also has vga connector if needed)
HDMI TV
From what I have read, there are 2 timing clocks on the 5570 so only 2 DIGITAL displays can be used simultaneously.
I can use a DP - VGA passive adapter because it uses RAMDACS not the TDMS. This means I could do
VGA -> VGA
DP -> VGA (passive adapter)
DVI -> HDMI (passive adapter)
The above seems a little cockeyed, but would it work?
I don't mind my PC displays being analog. There is a sapphire 5570 with VGA, DVI and HDMI. Would a DVI-VGA adapter not use a TDMS timing clock and therefore free up the HDMI for a third monitor?
Finding an active DP - HDMI adapter seems difficult and expensive.
Bottom line..... What would be my best bet for getting my desired triple display working? I can get a different gpu if needed (I haven't opened the 5570 yet). I have upgraded the PSU on the pc to 400W already.
