hey all. i am hoping some people with hardware experience can help me with this issue. i have a AMD Radeon 6950 graphics card that has a HDMI output, a DVI-I output, a display port output, and a Single-Link DVI-D1xDisplayPort output. I am trying to create a three monitor setup. i currently have two monitors set up....a HD widescreen that plugs into the HDMI port, and an older VGA monitor that i have plugged into the DVI-I output by way of a vga-dvi adapter. does the third monitor i am going to get have to a display port input, or can i use a display port-HDMI adapter or display port to DVI-D adapter. any advice is appreciated.

I have 2 monitors running off my Video card, and a 3rd monitor running off a USB to VGA adapter.

The USB monitor is not able to run FS9 smoothly, I use FSCommander, Squawkbox, Ventrilo on this monitor with no problem...

hi don, thanks for the response. i was hoping though to make a three monitor view of the flight deck as i have seen some people have. its sort of why i purchased this particular graphics card, as i was told this was the card that could make that happen. only problem is i am not really that good with hardware and don't know how the Display Ports work.
