I have a triple monitor setup. I have one 1080p monitor and two apple cinema displays. I have both the cinema displays connected via dvi. I have the latest driver for my XFX r9 280a. I can run both cinema displays or a CD and HDMI display but not all three at once. I have the latest version on win10. Im rather confused on why everything wont work all together and was wondering if anyone had any information. All three displays are detected by the computer but in the customize display settings one pops up as a smaller slightly darker gray box and is set to "disconnect this display". when I try to activate it is says the display settings could not be saved. please try a different combination of display settings.
Any Info would be great thanks!

hello there im guessing your video card cant handle 2 cinema displays and a regular one but i could be wrong i think cinema displays have higher resolution capabilities than a regular 1080p thats all i got hope this helps

These are pretty old displays that I just stubled upon. One is 1920 by 1200 and the other is 1440 by 900. While my graphics card definetely isnt new it says on the product page that it can support up to 6 displays so I dont think that that is neccesarily the issue.
