3 Monitors with HD7750

Hello wondering if I can get some help here. I'm running a

Gateway DX4840-11c
i3 processor 550
Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD7750
4GB DDR3 memory
Win 7 64-bit

The video card in question has 2xDVI 1xVGA and 1xHDMI ports.

I'm running 2 monitors (Samsung 24") B2430H (both have DVI, VGA, and HDMI)
Just bought another Samsung monitor S24C350L (only has HDMI and VGA)

I'm trying to run 3 monitors for work (help w/ productivity)

I cannot for the life of me get 3 monitors working here.

I've tried 2xDVI 1 HDMI, I've tried 1xDVI 1xVGA 1xHDMI, and mixed it up...nothing. I can't get third monitor to work.

Any suggestions? I've read I need a display port adapter, only problem is there's no display ports on my card OR on my monitors...so no what?

Your card only supports 2 monitors. AMD cards that support eyefinity(required for more than 2 monitors) have displayports and require adapters. From what I can find Gigabyte currently doesnt offer a 7750 with eyefinity support.

Thanks for the quick reply, can you point me in the direction of some video cards that would work w/ my system and 3 monitors I have? I'll just take this one back and exchange.

I'm not gamer...this is for programming/work setup.

A 7750 w/eyefinity support will work, and you'll need an adapter.

Forgive me for the "newbie" type question here. But if I get that video card it looks like I'll plug 1 monitor in via DVI, one monitor in via HDMI, and 1 monitor in via display port --> DVI adapter

Is this correct? And then I'll setup eyefinity?

Yes, and Yes.

Would it be better to get the SAPPHIRE HD 7770 FleX because I have 2 monitors the same and 1 newer (all Samsung?)

Just MAKE SURE the display port adapter is an active one or it won't work.

I have the Star Tech DisplayPort to DVI Active Adapter -- DP2DVIS

Its on http://support.amd.com/us/eyefinity/Pages/eyefinity-dongles.aspx

SO I've ordered that sapphire FLEX video card, won't come till Saturday at the earliest, but today while I was bored I went and picked up (at Future shop here in Canada) a Diamond Multimedia HD7750 (it's all they had in-store) put it in my box hooked up 1 monitor via HDMI, 1 via DVI, and one via the Star Tech DisplayPort to DVI Active Adapter. It didn't work...any reasons why? (I thought that it might...guess I was wrong) thoughts?
