PRATIK, nice looking setup there. I haven't used eyeinfinity, but reading up on it you should be able to. Read through this link and see if you set it up properly.

Set Up

I found a few other threads that say you have to use another display port adapter (active)

How do you have the three monitors connected now? You should have one HDMI, one DVI and two display port I'm thinking.


Found another example, check the 6th message in this link http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=336497

Do you need to have the 4th monitor installed?

 

[PRATIK]

thanks Dude , Britton

yeah it is installed

but I need another Active mini-DP to DVI or HDMI adator to turn it on

I already have mini-DP to HDMI passive adaptor with AMD Eyefinity certified but sad it doesnt help me

its so hard to find active mini-dp in India

@Dude

that site is so expensive
and only have 2 active adaptors
1 adptor = 3950 Rs. means 70 $
2nd adptor price = 9500 Rs. means 180 $

even Bill gates will not throw valuable 180 $ on that tiny adaptors
for me better to Upgrade to GTX 780 or GTX790 and throw AMD 7900 and 8900 series in garbage

AMD sucks , active adaptors already wasterd my 6 months

( that site bought products from amazon and bypass it , they are not true suppliers )

Doesn't suck that bad, you are running 3 monitors, I suppose you are newer to PCs! grrrrrrr muhahaha

Let's send you back to DOS and $400 15" CRT monitors, then complain!!!!! muhahaha

that is a great setup he has. i looked, I don't have the adapter he needs or I would have mailed it to him!!

Oh yeah I noticed, I have a 7950 as well, I wish they had included a 2nd DVI port, was my only reservation, but getting by with 2 monitors and haven't felt need to add my HDTV into the mix, performance now is awesome, I moved up from a 5850.

 

[Dude]

I think my card supports four monitors, but I only use two.

Obviously it's a gamer dream rig, thus the teasing you about it.

The teasing comes from having that rig in the first place and the complaint about $ to buy a cable.

Like buying a sports car and whining about having to use premium gas. :devil:
