3 Monitors on a Gigabyte R9 270X

[Bradley S]

I have got a 27 inch 1080p benQ monitor for Christmas and i have 2 Samsung 20 inch monitors @1600x900 both they aren't the same model.

I have tried all of the different connection types that i can but i have not touched the Display Port. I have read about people using the 270X in triple without DP so i was wondering how you can do it.

The 270X has 2 (different) DVI slots, HDMI and DP. What is the problem to connect the 3 monitors to the 2 (different) DVI slots and one using HDMI?

Yes that is what I want to do but the amd catalyst control centre says i have to disable 1 monitor to enable a third so i always have 1 monitor disabled. I do not care about eyefinity but i just want my 3 screens to work

Just to add i have read that you can use a passive DP toVGA adaptor but only if the monitor you are running is 1080p or under.

I have tried all of that but my last monitor is not working. I can get any 2 working but never 3

i had my triple monitor eyefinity with my r9 270x setup using dvi-d, hmdi and mini display port to vga adapter. my r9 270x is HIS iceqx2 turbo.

Hey man,
Yeah this is a known problem connecting 2 dvi's and hdmi at the same time does not work on some of the GPU's
You need this adapter to solve the problem

Or you can try to use the external usb gpu adapter but it won't work at full 1080p res

you need an active adapter for this because the 270x only has 2 clocks generating output. or use an adapter with its own clock like the apple vga-display port adapter. i have tried that and it worked for me.

I read that i only need a passive adaptor because it is converting display port to vga and they are both analogue

I cant find any active powered adaptors to vga

like what i said the apple display port to vga worked for me.
