Hi Everyone,
I am attempting to configure EyeFinity with 3 monitors. My graphics card, a PowerColor HD 6850 supports a maximum of 3 monitors, and it sports the following monitor outputs: 2 x DVI, 1 x HDMI & 1 x DisplayPort.
My 3 monitors are all the same brand (Dell) and model (U2212HM UltraSharp), they each sport 1 x DisplayPort, 1 x DVI & 1 x VGA connection.
As all of my monitors support DisplayPort I see no need for a DisplayPort adaptor, and I have connected my monitors as follows:
1). DVI
2). VGA by way of DVI Adaptor (this is necessary because I am using a KVM switch)
3). DisplayPort
Ironically only the 3rd, DisplayPort connected monitor is not working with EyeFinity! I have manually set the connection on the monitor (through the monitor's menu) to DisplayPort. Further when I turn the monitor off and on I see the message: "No DisplayPort Cable" - so the monitor doesn't "believe" that it is connected.
Windows (7 - x64 - Professional) on the other hand responds to the monitor being turned on and off by making the long "doo doo" sound that it typically makes whenever a USB connection is established! However this being said "Screen Resolution" Control Panel item only ever reports that two monitors are connected!
Furthermore ATI Catalyst can only see two monitors connected - it sees one Analog (due to the adaptor) and one digital (as pictured below).
Any help with getting my 3rd monitor working will be greatly appreciated. I have considered uninstally & reinstalling the driver - but I am not convinced that this will help as the monitor is reporting "No DisplayPort Cable"!
Thanks
Davo
