I am using a Gigabyte Radeon HD 7870 2GB graphics card. Up until today I have been running two displays in extended desktop mode. One is using DVI and the other is using a mini display port to DVI adapter.
Today I tried connecting my plasma using HDMI but for some reason it will not work unless I disable one of my other displays. Dose anyone know why? It is being detected but it shows as disabled when I try to enable it I get a message saying i must disable one of my other displays.
My graphics driver is up to date and i am running windows 7 64bit.
I just found something on the AMD website that seems to relate to my problem but i don"t fully understand it can someone please explain what exactly this means.
"AMD Eyefinity technology works with games that support non-standard aspect ratios, which is required for panning across multiple displays. To enable more than two displays, additional panels with native DisplayPort™ connectors, and/or DisplayPort™ compliant active adapters to convert your monitor’s native input to your cards DisplayPort™ or Mini-DisplayPort™ connector(s), are required. Support for six simultaneous displays may require complementary products compatible with DisplayPort 1.2 Multi-Stream Transport. Maximum number of configured displays may vary - check with your component or system manufacturer for specific model capabilities and supported technologies. SLS (“Single Large Surface”) functionality requires an identical display resolution on all configured displays" http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/graphics/7000m/7800m/Pages/radeon-7800m-series.aspx#3
Dose this mean i need additional hardware to run more then two displays?
