Ok, so I have an HD Radeon 7000 series capable of Eyefinity, with one DVI and one DisplayPort, of course, you can use a splitter with DisplayPort and it would work unlike DVI or VGA, I know. But I also read about people using the integrated graphics alongside the video card, with the right motherboard. Mine is capable of this, and works somewhat, all three monitors are detected, and show the screen, but when I go in to CCC to create eyefinity group, when I try to the monitor connected to integrated is grayed out, and doesn't allow me to use it in the eyefinity group. Ideas? Oh, and the integrated graphics is intel HD 2000, probably the issue being it's intel not AMD, but it's worth a shot... It is for gaming btw.

Yea... Nope. This is a dell licensed HD 7570, yes I know Radeon doesn't have one called a 7570 but Dell licensed one and called it that. This one has a DVI and a DisplayPort, that's it.

Well, I would, but that's not a DVI or DisplyPort, that's for a totally different type of video card, and normal splitters wouldn't work as they show up as only one display.

Naa, this one is quite capable of handling three or more monitors in eyefinity mode. I amn quite familiar with it, I apologize for opening this thread, I hoped there was something I did not know about someone might tell me, but so far everything everyone has said I am already familiar with. Again I apologize.

Yeah I kind of already figured that part out, hence why I am going to use the DisplayPort splitter for ONE gpu.

To drive a Eyefinity setup on that card which is a re-branded 6570 PCI-E rev. 2.0 card you need a MST Hub(Multi-Stream Transport). This allows you to connect one DisplayPort out from the card and connect up to 4 DisplayPort enabled monitors. As far as I know the hubs are still some what expensive. Normal passive splitters will not work for Eyefinity they must support Multi-Stream otherwise they are just cloning the same thing on both monitors.
