Hi all,
My boss has three 1080p monitors. Their only inputs are HDMI and DVI. He wants to run two extended, and the third as a mirror of one of the others.
We had all three up and running with his HD6850 card, using 2x DVI and 1x active DisplayPort to DVI adapter. Recently, whether through a driver update or some other circumstance, the third monitor is no longer detected. All three monitors work, but they only get a signal if running directly from the card's DVI ports.
We've tried more than one active DisplayPort adapter, and aside from one of them working for around a month or two, nothing seems to be working. We also tried updating the AMD drivers, to no avail.
He's frustrated, I'm frustrated, and we're out of ideas. He's willing to buy a new graphics card if it will alleviate the problem, but he's not willing to spend weeks ordering different items and trying new adapters to see if one just might work.
What do you guys suggest?
