3D TV as 3rd display hd 6950

[cam3ls]

I have read a bunch of answers on here but just wanted to verify before I went out and bought the parts.

I have an asus HD 6950 - 4 DP, 2 DVI

I have 2 displays, a samsung 1900x1200 and an Acer 1920x1080 connected via (passive?) display port to DVI adapters (they shipped with a friend's dell and he didn't need them). This has been working in an extended display setup.

I recently bought the Sony Playstation 3D LED TV as a 3rd display (extended display). It supports only HDMI, so I bought http://accellcables.com/products/DisplayPort/DP/dp_hdmi.html

When I have all 3 hooked up to the DPs, I get no video on my Sony TV. If I disconnect or disable one, I do. I even tried hooking up the 2 DVI displays directly to the DVI and then connect the sony via the accell DP to HDMI adapter, the DVI displays work but the Sony doesn't.

Do I need to buy active DP to DVI (Single link) adapters for my 2 other displays? http://support.amd.com/us/eyefinity/Pages/eyefinity-dongles.aspx

Also, will I be able to watch 3D content on this TV? Will it work with games?

Thanks for the help

Its not working because of the passive display adapter your using for the 3rd monitor. In order for it to work youll need a ACTIVE display adapter such as this.

Also have you made sure you identified the monitors, I'm assuming its windows 7, right click on the active screen and go to properies > screen resolution.

As long as whatever your watching has 3D enabled you should be able to.

ah thanks. So does this mean I need to get 2 active adapters for my DVI screens? or Can I just get the one thus leaving me with
1 active DP to DVI
1 passive DP to DVI
1 passive DP to HDMI?

yea, I tried the detect display in the catalyst and the windows screen settings.

Thanks again for the speedy reply.

Yes I believe so, as long as one is active it should work, as that card was designed for 6 monitor support.
