Matrix 280x eyefinity problem

[DavidMack]

Hi,

I have a ASUS matrix r9 280x which has 4 display ports and 2 DVIs.
I have 3 monitors with HDMI slots in the back.

I am using two DVI to HDMI converters for two monitors, and a Display port to HDMI converter for the third.

My problem is I can only get two monitors active at any one time.

Please help!!!

Thanks, David.

You need an active DisplayPort to DVI converter, a converter to HDMI will not work

See http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-803443/eyefinity-setup-guide.html for eyefinity issues

Okay, well I'm kinda F***ed as the monitors don't have DVI. I saw a youtube vid. of these monitors (AOC E2461FWH) running in eyefinity x3, is it possible that set-up had a gpu which had no DPs?

I doubt it. You could try an active DisplayPort to DVI adapter, then a passive DVI to HDMI adapter, though I'm not certain this will work

Sorry to be a pain, but I don't understand why an active DP to HDMI wouldn't work?

An Active DisplayPort to HDMI converter may work, but is not specified by AMD or ASUS as a cable that would work. You probably have a passive adapter, which essentially carries a HDMI Video signal from the GPUs DisplayPort to your monitors HDMI port.

Ok bud, thanks for all your help

No problem Remember, said cable may work, but there's no guarantee, and when I was looking around I found it hard to find such a cable.

Try contacting ASUS and see what they say about it
