Hi 
I have a few questions regarding an eyefinity setup that I wanted to try.
So, tonight I purchased a third monitor and an adapter (that was not an 'active' adapter) to finish my 3-monitor setup and to use eyefinity with some games, Only to find out that I need an active adapter to get my setup working.
I will be going back to the store to get my cable refunded tomorow morning, now my question is, instead of purchasing an active adapter, would a Displayport To DVI (or HDMI) cable do the job or does this need to be 'active' as well? Or am I better off ordering a active adapter?
*Just some info about my setup*
- I have a PowerColour 7850 graphics card (exact same model as this Powercolor Graphics card
- I have forgotten the model / name of my monitors but they have a DVI, HDMI and VGA port.
- I am using the catalyst command centre application to setup the eyefinity.
