How to setup 3 monitors with R9 280?

[dave39]

Is there a way to run Eyefinity (3 monitors) with an R9 280 video card? There's one DVI port , 2 mini displayports, and one HDMI port.

I have never run a multiple monitor setup but am interested and I have this card.Are there special adapters that need to be used or?

Also, will this card be able to push enough frames to run World of Warcraft on the 3 monitors at 1080p with Med/High settings?

Here is a link to the exact card

Won't be able to run 3 monitors at full resolution, and it'll be able to push most games at med/high but not on 3 monitors.

Thanks C4C,
Why won't I be able to run 3 monitors at full resolution though?
Am I able to just plug adapters into the mini displayports to convert them to HDMI or DVI up to the 2 outside monitors?

You should be able to connect them all... If you CrossfireX 2-3 280X's then you should be able to run the 3 monitors..

Edit: for your first question: not enough power to push all that. 3GB of video ram isn't enough..

Here's an article that better shows how playing on (3) 1080p screens would work and the framerates you'd see. Take note that the 280X will NOT be sufficient on its own and the 290X or 7990 will suit you better in the Radeon graphics realm. http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2013/11/27/battlefield-4-performance-analysis/5
