Hello Tom's Hardware Community,
I am attempting to assemble a three monitor Eyefinity array with my (relatively) new computer but have encountered an issue with the third monitor. I can operate my system with two monitors in an extended desktop configuration with no problems whatsoever, but when I attempted to enable the third monitor in Windows screen resolution menu I recieve the message "Unable to save display settings". I have also tried this in Catalyst Control Center which forces me to disable one of the two operating displays to enable the third monitor. The two displays I am able to use in an extended desktop configuration are connected to the DVI-D porton on my graphics card while the thrid monitor is connected to the Mini-DisplayPort on the graphics card through a MDP to DVI-D adapter. Can anyone help me figure this out or oint me in the direction of another thread that could be of some assistance?
Thanks,
Andy
