| Post subject: | How to connect 3 DP Monitors |
I currently have a Dell U2711 monitor connected to 2 MSI 6950's in crossfire via Displayport. I'm thinking about getting two more for 3 monitor gaming. My question is regarding how to hook them up. If I want to use DP I can use the two mini-DP ports on the first card; can I use a DP port from the second card for the third monitor? Or do all three monitors have to be connected to the same card? Please advise. Thanks! |

You must use one card. I'm pretty sure you can use 2 of the mini-DP ports and a couple DP-miniDP adapters.cables, or you can use the DVI port(s) on the monitor and video card. I use DVI-DP-DVI on my Eyefinity setup and i see no input lag, if that's your concern |

That's what I thought; thanks for confirming. I will use a DL-DVI cable for the third monitor and DP for the other two. |
