Last night I found out this is very much possible, so today I went out and bought a Displayport-to-DVI Converter and I am now running all 3 monitors off HD5870... no need for secondary video card now smile.gif

 

24" main monitor connected to Displayport via this adapter

2x 8" secondary monitors connected to DVI ports via DVI-VGA adapter

 

But, beware not any Displayport-to-DVI converter will do... it has to be Active converter (taking power from the video card Displayport or from USB port)

Hi,

 

im using this setup now for like three months. You don't need a active converter. At least mine 5870 uses a 35 Euro passive converter made by HP. It converts from DP -> VGA.

 

My actual setup is: Main: 24" via HDMI plus one 19" on DP and one 19" on VGA.

 

Im striving for 3 x 24" setup though, that's why i have 2x5870 right now.

Interesting... for me non active converter did not work so I had to buy active one and it works.

What i wonder in multi monitoring is how zoomed if any is used you do to get near a "real" HUD size. Or you let it as it comes and use the 3 monitirs side by side.

 

In much situations in sims the real problem isn t lateral periperical vision, but more a vertical limitation, since usualy you are in pursuit or adjusting a dive.

 

Does any of you use 3 monitor in vertical position ?

Just to be clear it does require active adapters past the first two monitors. All dp to VGA adapters are active. Passive DVI/HDMI adapters will not work.

 

I'm currently running 6 monitors off one eyefinity edition running 4 of the monitors off VGA adapters.
