R9 280X 3 monitor's wont work ever

[Teyos]

hi everyone. I bought my 3rd screen today and after hours I dont get all 3 to work together I have read ALL posts here and cant figure it out.

I have tried changing from HDMI to DVI to DP adapter and so on on all screens.
I have 2 AOC screens and 1 abit old samsung(got DVI)
My card is MSI Radeon R9 280X GAMING 3GB TwinFrozr4 (R9 280X GAMING 3G)

I have to use 1 HDMI to 3d card, 1 DVI to 3d card and either DVI or HDMI to the adapter

Here is my adapter for the DP. I dont know if its active or passive(dont know how to see the different)

The adapter is the active one but it is for the Mac. https://de.hama.com/00053245/hama-3in1-mini-displayport-adapter-for-dvi-displayport-or-hdmi-

So what adapter do I need?

 

[cin19]

Any active adapter for monitor, as long as it is not for the Mac.

And then it should work? What about the XFX adapter?

Think that works? The active from DP to DVI one.
