Yey you are!

Your card has Two DVI Ports! IIRC one is a DVI-I port and the other is a DVI-D Port!
DVI-I = Outputs Digital + Analog signal by choice
DVI-D = Outputs Digital Signal only
DVI-A = Outputs Analog signal only!

You're using passive DVI-VGA adapters! which means a DVI-D Port on your GPU is connected but doesn't have the capabillity to output Analog signal!

You need DVI Cables! (your Monitor supports DVI, VGA (D-sub) and HDMI. Don't waste time with analog VGA cables!)

Oh, and don't even try to plug 2x DVI +1x HDMI. that doesn't work! You can either use 2x DVI or 1x DVI + HDMI, but not all together (Except you have an AMD FLEX card)

P.S You don't need an 98$ Adapter! Just because he's USB powered! There are also Active MiniDP->DVI Adapters without USB powered. Oh, and your Monitor supports only 1920x1080 Pixel! Single-Link DVI would be enough, you wouldn't need a "Dual Link DVI-> Mini DP adapter" there are adapters for around 20 or 30$ out there that work fine.

When using crossfire the other cards port are deactivated. You must plug all the monitors into the primary card. I can't tell from the picture if that is the case I am not familiar with those cards. Is there a switch that controls the DVI ports? Some cards have a switch in them to turn dual link dvi on or off.

alright this is good news, I appreciate the feedback.

Here's hoping when i get my DVI-D cables, I don't run into many more issues.

Thank you! /cry
