My friend has a Powercolor Devil R9 270x 2gb DDR5 and 3 monitors ( 1 hdmi 2 vga only ), and we don't know how to set it up. Help?
 
Solution


Just plug everything in, there's nothing special you need to do.


The R9 270X can only run up to 2 monitors through DVI/HDMI/VGA. You'll need a DisplayPort to HDMI active adapter for the third monitor, like this:

(Mini DisplayPort) https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-DisplayPort-Supports-displays-3840x2160/dp/B00S0BWR2K/

Active adapters, okay. So how will I set this up, assuming I bought the two adapters you told me.
