    4870 only displaying on 2 monitors

    Hi guys.

    Is there any way I can get my card to utilise all three outputs it has, I can only seem to get it to work with 2 atm. I'm having to swap between using my tv and 2nd monitor depending on what I'm doing.

    I'm pretty sure that is normal, you can only have two of the three outputs working at the same time.

    Thanks funkstar, I thought that was what was wrong but I thought I'd just check in case I had missed something simples.
