7870 Tri-Monitor Setup problem

[R_Stevens]

Hello, I am trying to connect 2 Monitors and 1 TV to my video card.
I have both monitors connected to DVI ports and the TV connected into the HDMI port.
I can only get 2 displays to be used at one time.

Windows 8.1

Video Card Specs: Radeon HD 7870

■2x DVI output
■1x DisplayPort output
■1x HDMI output

If there is any more detail I can give please do ask.

2 Displays = 2 monitors?

2 Displays = 2 monitors?

The two that I can use are any combination. But only 2 can work no matter which monitor is being used with or without the TV.

The DVIs match from card to monitor? see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Visual_Interface

Your card overheating?

Reading that link I see something. The box the the card came with does not mention this but I am looking and I see that I have a DVI-I(Dual Link) and a DVI-D(Dual Link) port. Could this be the problem? I may need an adapter for the DP port to replace the connection to the DVI-I port, yes? I think I may how found the answer. Is this correct?

I'm not sure what ports your using on your monitors. But the DVI type needs to match.
