1324727	2013-01-24 18:55:00	So I got a new HP z420 with an AMD firepro v4900 gl video card. The video card has three ports on the back. One dvi and then two DPs. I have two adapters that go from DVI to DP because all three of my monitors are DVI. I've got them all plugged in but cannot enable all three monitors. When I try to extend the desktop to a third monitor via control panel, it says display settings cannot be saved. I tried to do it via the catalyst software and it says I have to disable another monitor to enable that one. I have verfied I can enable any of the two at a given time, but can't extend my desktop to all three. Any ideas why?	andrewsmd87 (16999)
1324728	2013-01-24 19:02:00	Are you using the latest catalyst drivers? Also I haven't checked the specs of the graphics card but can it actually support three monitors at the same time?	CYaBro (73)
1324729	2013-01-24 19:34:00	Your card supports three monitors, have you tried creating a Eyefinity display group in Catalyst? I only ask as you don't explicitly state you have. One of your DP/DVI adapters must be an active one as well. Here are the supported adapters support.amd.com Perhaps that is your problem.	KarameaDave (15222)
