Hey, so I'm having a strange refresh rate cap, my LCD monitors are 75hz native, but eyefinity appears to be limiting them to 60hz, is there a way I can work around this? a lower resolution or something? Bezel corrected res is 4752x900.

All monitors are DVI so, One DVI, one DVI to HDMI, and one DVI cord to a DVI to Mini displayport active adapter.

I believe the issue is one of them being recognized as a generic PnP monitor, whereas my others are able to produce 75hz but the PnP is limited 60hz. The PnP monitor is the one going through my active adapter. Can I fix that?

Yep, that will definitely cause the problem. All displays need to run at the same refresh rate I think. Active adapters are an absolute mess to work with. Since you have AMD cards you should have DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort outputs. Use those instead.

Well the thing is, Eyefinity causes them to ALL to appear as Generic PnP's. I can get all three to 75hz without Eyefinity, but after activating it it will switch to 60hz and change ALL of them to generics. They are the exact same monitors, all HW191D's, 1440x900 each.
