So here's how everything is set up:
HD 7970
Three Dell AW2310 Monitors
One monitor (the main one) hooked up to DVI - mini DP via apple's active converter for single link DVI
Second monitor hooked up to HDMI straight up
Third monitor hooked up to DVI
Now, I know this setup will not get me 120hz refresh rate and I'm fine with that for the moment. Additionally, I'm aware that even though I'm using dual-link cables, have a dual-link graphics card, and dual-link monitors, the only one that is benefitting from this is the monitor hooked up over DVI (again, it's the single-link converter, so what's coming out of mini DP is just single-link DVI).
When I go into catalyst, it shows all three monitors, but the DVI one is disabled. What gives? I've got the main one hooked up over mini DP (as I need at least one hooked up through some sort of DP), the second over HDMI, and the third over DVI...I don't get why it's set to disabled. Will the DVI monitor not receive signal because it is over dual link whereas the others are over single link (basically)? That's the only thing I can think of, but that doesn't seem right.
