We have an ATI Radeon HD 3650 PCle x16 video card in an HP desktop. The back
of the video card has 3 ports: 1 DVI and 2 DisplayPort.
We would like to have 3 monitors hooked up to this desktop. When we
contacted HP support about this desire, we were assured that 3 monitors could
be connected directly to the video card WITHOUT the need to split to
connection with a special adapter.
However, when we connect 3 flat-panel monitors to this video card—directly
to the 3 ports—only 2 monitors function at any given time.
This is also true when we try other hookup scenarios, like using the 2
DisplayPort ports and splitting one of the connections to 2 monitors.
We are assuming therefore that the general rule with any video card is that
is can only be used to 2 monitors at any given time?
Is this correct?
