Canada Eh?
I flashed a Powercolor PCS+ 5770 card for my Macpro1,1 and works great. The PC version has a pair of DVI connectors, an HDMI, and a Display Port connector. Currently using the 2 DVI connectors. I have a DVI-VGA dongle on one of my 2 monitors so I see the boot screen and text (if I boot verbose mode). I am toying with the idea of adding a third monitor so I tried a passive DP to DVI dongle and get nothing on the monitor. I am wondering if an active DP to DVI adapter would enable me to use a third monitor or is this just a limitation of using a flashed card?

My last resort is to stick the 7300GT back in as a second video card and run the third display off of it. This is a more power hungry option however so would rather find a way of using the 5770.

Anyone get 3 displays to work on their flashed 5770?
