I am having an issue getting AMD Eyefinity to recognize 4 Epson projectors. It works with dual monitors when I plug them in, but when I plug in my projectors it does not. I tried plugging them in directly to the card and via USB display adapters to no avail.

What exactly happens when you plug all the projectors in? Which model of projector are you using?

Correction: I want Eyefinity to work with and detect my projectors when they are plugged in via USB Display Adapters. They are picked up when I plug them in directly to the card, but I only have two slots that work on the card and that is the HDMI, and Display adapter. For some reason I cannot do more than 2 at a time and the VGA is not sending a signal nor do the onboard VGA/HDMI ports.

IS there anyway I can have 3 or more monitors/projectors work with Eyefinity with or without display adapters?

They work and get picked up in windows but not in Radeon settings or Eyefinity when I use display adapters which connect VIA USB. I just want 4 monitors to work with Eyefinity but I can only get two using a Radeon R7 240. There are not enough ports that send out a signal.

You can not eyefinity anything that is not attached to the graphics card. If you need 4 working projectors, you'll need a graphics card that provides that capability with the right mix of port. On top of that, the R7 240 is limited to 2 monitors in Eyefinity, you need a minimum of a 260 to achieve what you want (and multiple display port connections). Go to this page: http://www.amd.com/en-us/products/graphics/desktop/r7# scroll to the bottom to the features tab and select 200 series specifications. You'll find your 240 on the far right side. Scroll down to Eyefinity and you'll see max 2 monitors.

Your only option to achieve what you want is to get a better card.

That chart sums it up right there. Any particular reason why you want to use Eyefinity?
I mean with a R7 240 you will not be doing any gaming. You should still be able to do multi-monitor with your USB adapters.
