hi all
i'm currently have an Alienware Area-51
i replace the GTX295s with an Asus 5870 Eyefinity (6 mini displayport)
when i connect 6 alienware optix 2310 dispalys with mini-dp/DVI converters, they all show "there is no output from your graphic card"
i test all these displays with my alienware m17x with DVI port and they all works, and test the Asus 5870 with Dell U2311 display and the 3/4/5/6 port works but 1 and 2 no output signal
will it be an compability problem?
i reset those alienware displays to factory default and still not work
no output signals from system start to windows logon
i'm not in America so i can't call dell support
called local dell support and they know nothing about it
anyone knows something about the problem?
thx first

You probably either need monitors with display ports directly on them, or active diaply port to DVI adapters. Most (if not all) Radeon cards need the active adapters to work right.

I think your going to need an active adaptor as well, due to the high refresh rate of your screen.
