I'm reading that "older versions" of the R9 280X require an active adapter/converter in order to support 3 monitors. What is considered older? I bought mine in Jan 2014 and it's a Sapphire Dual-X R9 280X.

If I do need an adapter, is this the correct one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814999030

My AMD Catalyst Control Center hasn't been working for a long time. I can't open it. I can't uninstall it. I can't reinstall it. I've tried in safe mode and in regular mode. This is the error log:

My driver is up-to-date. I'm trying to access the AMD Catalyst Control Center to adjust graphics performance but I can't do anything to either get rid of it, repair it, or reinstall it.
