3 monitors on Sapphire 6670 workable?

[1a2a3a]

Hi guys,


Im having this card currently : http://www.sapphiretech.com/presentation/product/?cid=1&gid=3&sgid=1088&lid=1&pid=1169


Wanted to tried out 3 monitors.
But the display port adapter is abit pricey in my opinion.
Need some advice whether if it will work before I buy the displayport adapter.


I've connected the DVI to my 19" monitor and the HDMI to my 32" tv.
Im wondering if I could buy a Displayport to VGA/DVI and hook it up to another 19" monitor, that has VGA/DVI, and will it work?


Apparently, the website says it would and I read some online review and yes it does. But when I called f**ell (input your own), they told me sapphire 6670 don't have such setup of - DVI HDMI and DP on the card.


I told them I bought from you guys and they told me convergent don't carry such card, only the VGA DVI HDMI version. So whole of Singapore wont have such card.


I told them receipt put your shop name, box shows DP, my card behind shows DP. They tell me sure anot, its 2 hdmi la.


So nvm, I told them I wana buy. They then say 6670 even if you buy, the card is too weak to support 3 display. Im like wtf? Seriously? So Sapphire has been advertising wrongly?


I honestly need some input on this before I get the adapter. I have an extra monitor sitting around, so might as well.

They must be pulling a fast one on you. The middle port is indeed a DisplayPort. And yes you will need an active DisplayPort adapter for connection to your 3rd monitor.

HD 6670 is seriously weak only if you are talking about gaming across these 3 monitors, but for workstation purpose, they are more than enough.

hi mate, thanks for the reply.
Not intended for gaming. just some video editing and watching of videos.

Do I have to get a ATI certified or does the compatible ones work as well?
I understand that the prices varies quite a lot. Any recommendation to buy?

Lastly, can I check what does the adapter must be active vga means?
my 3rd monitor only have a VGA. Am I right to say a dp to vga will work fine?
