    How do you setup 3 monitors on the M17x R2 with a single 6990m? Or do you need a xfire setup to do this?

    I've seen many videos online but none of them show how their actually setup. One of the videos show that you need an "Active" adapter for the Display and HDMI ports.

    Thanks Luis. I just checked out the AMD Eyefinity Validated Dongles page ( Link) and I ordered an Accell UltraAV B101B-003B DP to VGA dongle. I'll update this thread once I get to test.
