Problem with my new XFX Single-Slot HD5770.

[Synomenon]

There's a small problem with my new XFX single-slot HD5770.

The two DVI connectors and the mini-displayport connector are all too close together. When I plugged a mini-displayport cable into the card, I could not plug a DVI cable to the DVI port right next to the mini-displayport. When I had a DVI cable plugged into either DVI port, I could not plug a DVI cable into the DVI plug next to the first one.

All of the ports are too close together. I cannot run three monitors with this card. All I can run at the same time are a monitor off of the mini-displayport and another monitor off of the DVI port on the other side of the DVI port right next to the mini-displayport.

Has anyone seen a DVI cable that doesn't have such a thick plastic housing around the connector?

DVI cables are cheap you could try to dremel the part that screws down off for more clearance and see if that works. Or look for a right angle mini-displayport cable, that might work as well.

Yes do what rifter said. Take off screws etc, it should fit. it should give more clearance..
