Hi all.
I have been trawling the internet all eve for this problem, and I hope that someone on here has the information I am after.
I have just purchased a HD6870 to run 3 Projectors in Eyefinity for the Key737 Project.
The outputs on the back of the card are as follows:
DVI
DVI
HDMI
DisplayPort
and the 3 Projectors I have, have the following inputs:
Projector 1 - DVI
Projector 2 - VGA
Projector 3 - VGA
I bought a Active DP to DVI adapter in the hope to acheive the setup by using:
DP to DVI - Projector 1
DVI to VGA Adapter - Projector 2
DVI to VGA Adapter - Projector 3
but only 2 monitors would work, and if I understand correctly, it is because I am using 2 x DVI to vga adapter, where it only supports up to 1.
I am therefore trying the new approach of sending my DP to DVI Active adapter back, and getting an Active DP to VGA and using in the following configuration:
DP to VGA - Projector 2
DVI to DVI - Projector 1
DVI to VGA Adapter. Projector 3
Would anyone be able to tell me if this would work, to allow me to use 3 projectors in eyefinity? As I don't fancy having to keep buying adapters if they do not work.
I hope this explanation makes sense!
Many Thanks!
