GTX 970, triple monitor support, only two monitors will display at a time

[ACooke]

I have a EVGA GTX 970, it has a single DVI port, 3 display ports, and one HDMI port. I have 3 monitors, two of which are DVI, and one of which only has VGA. I've plugged the VGA into the DVI port via an adapter, and the other two monitors into the GPU via DVI to DisplayPort adapters. I cannot get all 3 of the monitors to display at one time, only two.

Can anyone help me with this? Please note that I only have a single DVI port. (EVGA GTX 970 SSC)

Are adapters passive https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-DisplayPort-DVI-Adapter-Passive/dp/B0017K6BD2
or active https://www.amazon.com/Displayport-Adapter-Converter-FEMORO-Splitter/dp/B06W2FZ9MK/ref=sr_1_16?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1501021187&sr=1-16&keywords=ACTive+dp+to+dvi ?
If passive, try testing an active one.

I don't think I have any passive adapters on-hand but I'll keep it in mind and try it out when I get the chance. (All of my adapters are active I believe)

I feel like I should add that the monitors all work, just not together as 3. So if I disconnect the center monitor, I can get the left and right monitors to turn on, if I disable the right monitor, I can get the left two monitors to turn on, ect.

If active, then it should work. Try with a HDMI to DVI cable for one of the monitors.
