WHY CAN I ONLY USE 2 OF MY 3 DISPLAYS!???????

[gameridgoeshere]

Hi, I recently ordered 2 more displays for my PC and when I plug in 1 DVI plugs=s into the graphics card and one HDMI, only the middle one shows up, when I unplug 1 of the corner monitors, I can use the other two fine. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN!????????????????? (I have checked its not a hardware issue, I can use all three, just not at the same time)

Thanks,
- Dan

Edit: LOL its in the AMD radeon section. face. palm. still, what GPU, they don't all do 3

U need the Display Port adapter...

eyefinity uses 2 DVI and one display port with an active adapter,and all 3 must be plugged into the primary card only.

yes you need to buy one of these, I have one and it works even in 3d games stretched to all 3 monitors (eyefinity) (up to 1080p I think only per monitor adding up to 3x1080p)
