AMD Fans - whats the secret to getting 3 monitors working plug-in play-

I have the ASUS HD 7770 2gb - it has 2 DVI, 1 HDMI 1 hdmi

so I connected 1 dvi monitor, 1 DP, 1 HDMI

As per google search inquiry results, looking for answers, and they don't seem universal - I got the common error in Windows Display Properties (they suggested uninstalling CCC which I did) "Unable to display settings" when extending/enabling the third monitor.

tried drivers from ASUS, guru 3rd and AMD (in amd auto detect tool it detects it as a R7 2XXX) and I did also try the drivers I manually selected

I did the Guru Safe Mode Drive Cleaner -

So What am I doing wrong?

Ok so you have one of these right?

My setup is center screen plugged into HDMI and the 2 others are DP or DVI, doesn't matter iirc

It should just work through AMD CCC in Eyefinity group, never had to uninstall drivers or anything

in the left bars goto AMD Eyefinity>create group>select layout (3x1)>identify screens

I did read the AMD how to - but the third monitor is disabled it wont let me enable it.

Try swapping the DP/DVI connections? are all 3 monitors different?

actually that shouldn't matter though, before my current setup all 3 monitors were completely different and they still worked.

Make sure the DisplayPort adapter you have is an active adapter. A passive on is cheaper, but won't work for eyefinity.
