Hi everyone.

I just built a desktop with the XFX Radeon 7870 Video card. I'm trying to have a 5 monitor Eyefinity setup. The problem that i am having is that only 2 of the monitors are showing an image but the other 3 wont display an image. When i go to the windows config it shows that all of them are recognized but the other 3 are disabled. when i try to enable them i get a message " Unable to Save Display Settings"

What am i doing wrong? the video card supports Eyefinity and has all the outputs needed for all of the monitors to be connected.

Thanks

What Connections do you use ? 2x DVI 1x HDMI and 2x Mini DP ? What Connection do you Monitors have ?

That does not work, you cannot run 2x DVI + HDMI except on Sapphire FLEX edition Cards!

Is the image haldi posted your video card?
How many monitors are supported on the box? (Does it say 4 on the eyefinity badge)
Which monitors are displaying? Just try the 2x DVI to make sure they both work together.
Are the mini dp adapters ACTIVE (You should have gotten 1 active & 1 passive in the box)
Are you using an adapter for the HDMI? (HDMI to DVI) I think this one is usually passive
With all 5 which 2 are actually showing? if only DVI then maybe it is the adapters....

Just trial and error to see what combo's work (Try 2 DVI & 2 mini dp)

Also do you have the EXACT PART NO...
Here are the models XFX make (bottom RHS tab)
http://products.xfxforce.com/en-us/Grap ... -787A-CDBR

there is more than one that supports 4 displays max
Check second page down in the Overview Tab
