Three monitors Optiplex 7010
I have seen this question presented before, and have seen where others have gotten it resolved. But, I have yet to see a posting explaining how they got it resolved.
I have an Optiplex 7010 with a VGA main monitor and two display port monitors. I can run the main one and either of the the others perfectly, but have yet to figure out how to run all three at once.
Can anyone please help me figure out how to get this up and running?
Thanks.

here is a simple answer to your problem if you don't mind dropping $160 and you have the tower version of the 7010 and not one of its smaller form factors .... this card is a professional work station card that runs 2 display ports and 1 vga/dvi. It was the cheapest card I could find with dual display ports.

just a thought if you want to avoid adapter insanity

Select F2 when you power the system up. Arrow down, select Video, and put a check mark in multiple monitors. We setup the system up with three monitors, then added two more with the PCIe card that had a DVI and DipslayPort.
5 Monitors all functional.

Hi robshelton ,
Greetings from Dell.
As you have mentioned this question has been presented before and others have got it resolved
The workaround is to use the Display Port to VGA adapters
