The new one is plugged into an active mini-displayport to DVI connector. Any clues?

My GPU is a XFX 7950 DD Black Edition.
im not an expert at this but, heres why I think it's not working for you.

For AMD graphics card to go 3+ monitors with eye infinity, with your configuration, requires a special active adapter. Other wise it wont run on 3+ monitors.

Here's a list of monitors you can choose from: AMD Eyefinity Technology - Recommended Adapters

Edit1:

so yeah straight from AMDs website:

"To enable more than two displays, or multiple displays from a single output, additional hardware such as DisplayPort-ready monitors or DisplayPort 1.2 MST-enabled hubs may be required. Maximum two active adapters supported. See www.amd.com/eyefinityfaq for full details."

So in order to bypass this without buying an adapter is to have all 3 monitors using display ports :|

I'm not so good at this but... if you go the tripple display port way... you kind of bottle neck your self in some games, as display port only goes up to 60hz lol ._. so buying super high end graphics card having like 100 fps kinda useless with 60 hz limit.

edit2: oh ._. at post below... yeah no clue... XDDD
