Confused About 3 Screen setup on a Radeon 7700
I was given a Radeon 7700 card and was told I could hook up 3 screen to it. I went out and bought a displayport to HDMI adaptor today after researching online. I came home and hooked up all my screens as
(left) 2nd Screen - Display port to HDMI
(center) Main Screen - DVI
(right) 3rd Screen - HDMI
Now the video card only has 3 ports on it, where my older 5800 series had 2 dvi, 1 hdmi and 1 display. But now after hooking up the screen, the 3rd screen on the display adaptor port is detected but can't be added/enable while the 2 other screens are on.
I was told you can't have 3 screens where 1 is HDMI and the other 2 are display port or DVI but then how would this card be able to suppose 3+ screens? am I missing something?
Friends said I need either/or one of these adaptors.
