Eyefinity: Will this DisplayPort adapter work?

Found this in a link on another forum while searching for active DisplayPort to DVI adapters for triple monitor Eyefinity.

It doesn't physically resemble any other active adapter I've seen and it's also $80 cheaper than any I've seen. (Very suspicous, huh?)

Was wondering if anyone knew anything about it...

Thanks!

P.S. If anyone has any good reason(s) to talk me out of buying an adapter and another couple monitors, tell 'em quick. Haha

Thats an adapter, but not an active one. Easy to tell, since there is no power source. Active converters are actually reprocessing the DisplayPort signal into a different signal, as opposed to taking a mostly compatible signal (like and HDMI and DVI....DP is different) and allowing things to be physically connected. An active adapter actually converts, and requires some juice to do it, usually via USB. That thing would work fine to connect the video card to a DVI monitor using the DP port, but it will not work for Eyefinity.

You'll need something more like this:
