Using 3 monitors and ATI Radeon HD 5450

[sylo50]

Basically what I am trying to do is have my desktop mirrored across 3 display devices. The setup I have is 1 TV (HDMI) 2 Monitors (1 vga and 1 HDMI).

I have hooked them all up and the computer picks up all 3 display devices. But my issue is I can only get 2 out of 3 on at any given time. I can have any combination of the 3 monitors on at one time. But never all 3 at once.

I have been doing some research and it seems that this card can handle 3 mirrored monitors but I can't seem to get it to work.

I called the manufacture up and the said I need to have it hooked up with 1 in the VGA port...1 in the HDMI port and one in the DisplayPort. Now what I did was is got a HDMI to DisplayPort to do this. Still didn't work.

What am I missing? Can this card even do this? Am going about this the wrong way?

The card is ATI Radeon HD 5450 model GV-R545D2-512D...it has 1 VGA port 2 HDMI ports and 1 DisplayPort.

Thanks for the help,
Sylo

Did you buy a straight through cable? If so you probably need a displayport adapter like this instead http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812340008.

Can this card handle what am trying to do?

edit: I had the wrong link in there. I have the correct one now.

Thanks,

Am just setting it up correctly? I just don't understand why it won't let me have 3 mirrored monitors.
