Just wondering if you can help..

I have 2- 24 inch monitors connected to my MacPro 2013 through two mini display ports (dvi)

I just bought a 24 inch Monitor that connects through HDMI. I connected it to my MacPro and it now only sees one dvi display.

I unplug the HDMI and then it sees 2 DVI monitors again... What's happening & how do I get it to see:

2 DVI displays and One HDMI display.

I did search.. but not much came up with this config
thanks

On the 6,1 the HDMI shares the same bus as the two bottom Thunderbolt ports.

Do you have both current monitors plugged into both of the bottom Thunderbolt ports?
 
On this page: http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT202801

It shows this image, which describes which ports are part of which bus.

Note that for optimal performance, Apple suggests you put each display on a different bus, i.e. 0, 1 or 2.

If you still have problems after shuffling your displays around on the ports, I do recall a friend of mine with a nMP that said he had problems with setup similar to yours. I can ask him what he did to resolve it. Let us know.

If using the HDMI port, you can only use one more monitor with a converter. The rest must all be DP. It's not documented, but I've seen a few Youtubes with others stating this.
