Hi Jim, I have an NVidia GeForce GTX 660Ti video card. I am running two monitors via DVI and I have an HD TV hooked up via HDMI from the card which extends my desktop to the TV. All seems to work well.

Several years ago I purchased a HIS H675F1GD Radeon HD 6750 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity. At the time, I was just running two monitors off the HDMI and DVI ports. I recently wanted to add our HDTV to the mix, but the 3rd port is a DisplayPort. As a short cut, I added a second video card (a Radeon, but of a different version). Things worked but later I noticed that the Catalyst software was not working and I could not upgrade the drivers. I assumed it was because of the two different Radeon versions. So I went in search of a DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable. Found it was not easy or straight forward. There were active and passive converters. Some worked for some people, other people felt Eyefinity was a disaster and running three monitors (where one of them WAS NOT a DisplayPort equipped monitor) was not possible. I took a chance and purchased an Active converter. It arrived and, of course, it DID NOT work. So, I seem to have four options: 1) Purchase a new monitor (too expensive and I already have the monitor), 2) Purchase another HD 6750 video card (which don't seem to be easily available - being old), 3) purchase a new video card that DOES do 3 monitors, NONE of which is a DisplayPort Monitor, or 4) Purchase 2 identical new cards. So, I am looking for firsthand experience with people who have successfully run a setup with 3 or more monitors (with DVI or HDMI inputs). When you read the forums you see lots of people saying "I heard it CAN be done," but few that have actually accomplished the task. I read that there are nVidia cards that can do 4 monitors (but only 3 in a "surround" environment and the 4th as a ???). So, suggestions? I appreciate the input and suggestions. This has been such a frustration experience for what should be a simple task. Jim Maki jwm_maill...@comcast.net
