So nice and quick, As some of you know I'm driving quad monitors. Two with DVI from my 7870, and two off Intel HD, a VGA and an HDMI. Recently I've wanted to move the HDMi from the intel HD to the 7870 so I can actually fix the overscan (Intel display management is awful). So I got myself a displayport to HDMI adapter. And that's where the headache begins. the adapter works fine, However when plugged into the GPU only 2 monitors will work. I'm well aware that you can't use both the DVI and the HDMI ports on a card featuring them, however I was under the impression you could use two of either, well using the displayport. What exactly am I doing wrong?
TL;DR Displayport-HDMI adapter still only allows two monitors at a time driven by a 7870. Adapter works.

You need another video card if you are running three monitors...
I'm running CFX 7870s. my bottom card was able to run 4 displays. However due to the physical size of it in its current state, it is unable to be the top card.
