Hello, I am upgrading from a 290 to a fury X, but alas, I pulled the trigger and bought the card on Newegg while completely forgetting about the connectivity issue.

My current set up consists of 3 1080p displays, 2 of which are using DVI and one is using HDMI, and 1 1440p display, which is using display port. All of the monitors run at 60 herz. I noticed that the Fury X just has 3 DP and 1 HDMI, this means I need to get adapters for 2 of my monitors using DVI. The question is, do I need to be careful selecting the adapters? For example do I need active adapters or passive ones will work? I am thinking of getting 2 cheap dvi to DP male to male passive ones, will that be OK?
I need eyefinity to run properly.

Thank you for the help in advance!
:)

Thank you, for future reference, I checked the fury X manual @ http://support.amd.com/Documents/amd-radeon-r9-fury-x.pdf and http://www.accellcables.com/products/ultraav-displayport-to-dvi-d-passive-adapter It seems that I should be fine using 2 passive adapters given that the dp ports are ++. When using passive adapters the signal output will be native to that of the display ie: DVI or HDMI. when using active adapters the signal output will be that of the source, in this case display port. It is recommended to use active adapters if you are using 3 more displays that need conversion.
