| Post subject: | HIS 6950 crossfire active mini dp -> dvi |
Hi everyone, I am new on this forum and new to the amd eyefinity. Recently I bought a new pc with 3 monitors. I also bought this adapter: http://www.mycom.nl/Product/Kabel-Beeld/Sapphire-ACTIVE-MiniDPtoDVI/1161949 The first one failed to work, so did the second one. When i hook up my 3rd monitor to this adapter it works for about 5 seconds, but when i try to open a program the 3rd screen disconnects, tries to connect again, and than disconnects etc. I really need my 3rd monitor. What would be a good mini dp port to dvi adapter that is compatible with my graphics cards? Also it would be nice if I could buy it in Europe. Grtz, Piggybag |

I am using 2x HIS radeon HD 6950 Ice QX in crossfire mode. For eyefinity I am required to use the minidisplayport for the 3rd monitor. If i use 2x dvi and 1x hdmi it wont work. |

I tried both minidp ports. I was thinking about getting this one, because it has an extra power cable. http://www.kabeltje.com/displayport-of-mini-displayport-naar-dvid-duallink-adapter-met-3d-ondersteuning-p-22187.html?zenid=27e8407fe1768a23d1f366a280888be3 Will this one work better as the other sapphire one? |

No guarantee! It's just the old generation Active Adapters that needed an external (USB) power source! Nowadays they work without. But that's whats missing here on WSGF.... a "Adapter Master List" like the Monitor Master List. The problem is to keep that up to date... way to much work! |

If you still can return it to the shop where you got it i would do that maybe its a defect adapter. |
