Is it possible to connect three different LCD monitors on ATI HD 5750

[r9]

I just tried to connect three monitors with different sizes and resolutions to my HD5750 and it detects all three of them but it allows me to use only two that I would choose.
I`m trying to connect 24" LCD monitor (1920x1200), 19" LCD monitor (1280x1024) and 32" LCD TV (1920x1080).

Do you have the new drivers? It appears that old drivers cannot support Eyefinity.

No I`m still using 9.12. I`m going to try 10.1 beta drivers. But I`m not sure that what I`m trying to do is eyefinity. I know that for eyefinity to be enable 3 same monitors are needed. I want to use three monitors just for desktop work. I`m not trying to run game on split dispays. I know that that is impossible with three different monitors.

Which connectors are you using? With three LCDs you have to use 2 x DVI and 1 x DisplayPort.
You can't use 2 x DVI and 1 x HDMI. Maybe that's the problem?

For Eyefinity

1 monitor have to be plug in the Displayport & the other 2 on DVI's or HDMI

If your monitor doesn't have a displayport then you need an adapter Displayport to DVI but it's got to be an active one

Here a good video how to setup Eyefinity explain buy Bill Donnelly (he works at Sapphire)

I have read and watch the procedure of setting up eyefinity but it require three identical monitors. And I`m not trying to play game or video stretch across three monitors just plain desktop extension on the monitors.

one display MUST use the displayport connector for 3 monitors to work in any fashion.


HDMI is conencted to one DVI port, whose controller can only deal with 2 outputs. Displayport is a seperate controller.

As I've said before - You can't use 2 x DVI and 1 x HDMI. Even when you don't want to play any games, just display three desktops. One DVI is connected to HDMI.

Ok than I better start looking for display port to DVI adapter thanks.

But remember that is has to be an active adapter. Good luck.

Sapphire has the Active DisplayPort adapters now but not sure if they are in retail or not.

^^^This is very important. The DP-to-DVI adapter cannot be passive, because the HD5750 (and all other HD5000 graphics cards so far) only has 2 clock generators.
