HIS H6970 Graphics Card: Can't get three monitors to work....

[dmbarry]

Just got finished with a new build and I've been having trouble getting three monitors to work together. I have a HIS H6970 graphics card:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161385&Tpk=his%2069

The card has two DVI ports and one HDMI. The two DVI ports work fine and I figured I'd just have to plug a HDMI into the third one and I'd be in business. But no- the computer recognizes the third monitor but doesn't let me extend the display to it. If I unplug the two DVI and just use the HDMI, it puts the display on it fine so I know the 3rd monitor / HDMI cable is working....

Any ideas on how to fix this?

To get 3 monitors, you must use the Displayport for the 3rd monitor. Active Displayport to HDMI adapter is needed.
