I have a 5770 and 3 monitors. I didnt know that I need active DP adapter in order to run 3 monitors. How do i set up 3 monitors using two on the 5750 and 1 using the onboard hd4250 that my mobo has?

whats the res of the monitors? If they are 1080P or below you can use the monoprice passive adapter...it flickers sometimes but it works...


btw as far as I know you have to use the connectors on the card-onboard will not work-at least it didnt when I setup my eyefinity setup a year ago..

In the mobo BIOS enable Surround View. Hook up the monitors and make sure Device Manager recognizes both discrete and onboard.
