So I just got my third monitor, 3x Samsung 216BW 1680x1050. Using 2x DVI and 1x Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter to connect them to my XFX 6950/70 flashed.
I can use all 3 monitors, just not at once! I know this isn't an active adapter, but according to everything I have read, active is only required at 1900x1200 or higher resolutions.
As you can see, CCC sees all three monitors, but only allows 2 to be active at a time. Please don't say "buy an active adapter" unless you know, for SURE, that it is the only solution.
With the ATI product description, it says "If only one or two DVI/HDMI monitors are attached through a DisplayPort connector, then only simple passive adapters are required."

What gives?
