Hi Guy's

I've added a FirePro W600 to my system which is a MSIB350M gaming PRO system and I wish to run 6 monitors, could someone please enlighten me on how I go about this please

I've spent hundreds so far trying to do this thinking I knew what I was doing, but it turns out I have no bloody idea, so if someone could explain to me how I go about this please that would be awesome. I'm not using the monitors for gaming i just want separate monitors to run different things.

The monitors I'm using are:
3X Acer ED272 and
2x Acer 27" FHD VA FreeSync Monitor KA272A

1. You don't say what the problem is.
2. What is the exact OS and build version?
3. Which driver is installed?
4. How are the displays connected? At what resolution and refresh rate?
5. What is your System BIOS version?

1. Where did you obtain those mDP-HDMI cables from? Those cables have mostly passive connections. With our FirePro graphics cards the maximum number of passive connections you can use on each GPU is 2. So, for 5 displays to connect, you must use at least 3x mDP-HDMI active adapters. Nowadays the active adapters are not that expensive.  Since I don't know what cables you are using, you might want to update the driver first before purchasing any new adapters. See below:
2. You wrote: My system is windows 64bit, version 10.0.19042 build 19042 . I don't recognize your Windows version, I assume you have Windows 10 20H2. With "winver" command you can get your exact Windows version and build. 19042 has many versions. See below.
   
   
3. If indeed you have Win 10 20H2, then the FirePro W600 driver you are using is very old. Please use the latest driver version 21.Q1.1 from https://www.amd.com/en/support/professional-graphics/firepro/firepro-wx000-series/firepro-w600
