I have an old Gigabyte HD6850 OC. As per user manual it says I can do 3 displays DVI+DVI and an ACTIVE display port. I understand these requirements because of the DACs shared between one of the DVI ports (thereby needing the active adapter to enable a 3rd display in either HDMI, CRT/VGA or a third DVI monitor.
What is unclear to me (and I have not found a definitive answer on the web) is whether a 3rd monitor with a native display port connection work? The final connection will therefore be DVI+DVI+DP
I have 2X24" Samsung's and would like to purchase a 3rd Samsung monitor (27") like the LS27A850DS - and while this monitor has both DVI and DP (it is a fairly expensive model and saving a few dollars on a DP adapter/dongle would be appreciated. I understand that there may be other "better" models/brands out there, but I would simply prefer another Samsung mainly due to the support that I have received from them in the previous years.
Being able to work with eyefinity would be a plus but I technically just need 3 active monitors for work/documents/web so the 6850 (1GB) should be sufficient
