Eyefinity: Will this DisplayPort adapter work?

[Guest]

Hi,

I've recently bougtht a third monitor for my setup... although it doesn't work - I'm confused with all the jargon, can anyone help?

Whats an active displayport?

My Set-up

OS: Windows 7 Pro

My graphics card is Radeon HD 5770

Monitors: X3 LG 24in W2442PA 1920x1080

I've got X2 DVI cables

And one HDMI to DVI cable

I can see three monitors in the catalyst control panel but I can't set-up a group with all three... only 2 at once.

I can't wait to start gaming using eyefinity.

What do I need to get all 3 screens working?

Thanks

Your best bet would be to buy a monitor with DisplayPort.
Problem solved.That's what i did.
Dell sells quite a few now at very reasonable prices.

Thats not really option, already got 3 nice monitors... I didn't know about displayPort before buying the 3rd monitor, I'm sure they must be an adaptor i can buy?

I know Sapphire and probably others make an active Display port adapter
Sapphire's is expensive

here's one from StarTech
