Can the Displayport 20 pin issue be overcome?

After going through hell trying to figure out what my problems were on a triple monitor screen setup with one display using a displayport to DVI connection. I am now 100% sure its the 20 pin problem that I have.

My question is how can this issue be resolved?
Are there known displayport adapters available that overcome this?
I have an ATI Radeon HD 5850. Do I and can I get a new graphics card that can beat this problem?
Do I need to get a more complaint monitor?

Are there any DIY tutorials/videos around showing a fix. I know some people pull out pin 20 but is this the only way and is it a difficult job?

Any help on this matter would be great.

 

Thanks for the reply. Do you have any links or model numbers to the cables you used.

 

Dont buy uncertified cables and you wont run into that problem.

^what he said.

 

How do I know if an adapter is certified it doesn't state it anywhere in the specs. I use a Startech.com DisplayPort to DVI Active Adapter.

 

Usually if they're compliant, it'll say so. That's why I only use Accell cables.

I have purchased an Accell B087B-001B UltraAV Display Port/DVI-D adapter and now I receive 'The display settings could not be saved please try a different combination of display settings' when I try to extend to monitor 3. The config I now have is DVI+DVI+DisplayPort-DVI active adapter.
Is there a fix or workaround for this? I tried everything I could think of re-installed AMD drivers. Reset resolutions on Desktop displays.
Do I need a new Graphics card or is this a Windows 10 issue?
I cant understand how all 3 displays worked perfectly for a couple of years then suddenly stopped.

 

The Display port adapter does work when only using 1 screen.
With DVI + DVI + DP to DVI connected only DVI + DVI work.
with DVI + DP to DVI connected DVI + DP to DVI both work.
with DVI(the other DVI port) + DP to DVI connected DVI + DP to DVI both work.

Then it gets weird. When I connect all 3 monitors and switch around which monitor is connected to which connector (i.e. either of the DVIs and the display port) only 2 monitors work but there is a randomness as to which 2 of the 3 monitors work.

Also the reason I ask about it being a Windows 10 issue is because I have read that some people began getting this problem only when they upgraded from Win 7 to Win 8 or Win 10.
