• Eyefinity with active adapter
    12 replies, posted
So i've been reading a lot of stories about using a passive dp to vga adapter for the third screen. I've connected my 3 22" monitors up to my 5870 (2 x dvi, 1x dp to vga), when it first connects it displays, but I can't get it to go to 1680x1050, even if I try in CCC. The resolution it goes to 1600 x 1200, so it shows it can go as high. Can anyone help me? I bought a passive adapter not an active adapter, I've seen many stories of it working! /edit
all the monitors are the same, correct?
I did a eyefintiy setup today with a dp -> vga adapter and I had to unplug the DP adapter and put it back in and then it just fixed it for some reason, also make sure your centre screen is the Displayport screen as it seems that order works best.

Thats the same one I bought, strange that it doesn't work, can you even get it to run in eyefinity mode (regardless of resolution)?
