Hi all,
I obtained a cheap 3rd monitor and want to add it to my existing dual setup. Here are the specs
Video card
AMD Radeon HD 6770 (Gigabyte GV-R677D5-1GD; 1x DP, 1x HDMI, 1x DVI-I)
Monitors
Asus x223w (via DVI-D single link cable)
Asus x223w (via HDMI to DVI-D dual link cable)
HP 2011x (via "active" DP to DVI adaptor, DVI-D single link cable)
I have "active" in quotes for the dongle because it was purchased on eBay and was advertised as an active adapter. I know that for my setup I'll need an active adapter and at a glance I seem to have everything I need in place for it to work but the problem is that it doesn't.
I can have any combination of 2 monitors working at once but it refuses to extend to all 3 monitors. Unless I'm completely missing something I suspect that the adapter is actually passive instead of active. Also, does DVI cable matter from the adapter to the monitor? Should it be a dual link DVI cable instead of a single link.
If someone could give me some pointer I'd really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
