I'm trying to connect my 3 monitors to my Radeon r9 280x. It has 2 display port mini's, 1 dvi, and 1 hdmi

I bought a converter for hdmi to displayport mini but that doesn't seem to be working. I've read that I need an active converter but they are hella expensive.

Do you guys know of an alternative to getting this to work? This is rather frustrating that I will need to drop another 100 dollars to get my 3rd monitor set up :(

Thanks
