HI sorry for such a last year question but I have not been able to Google the answer successfully.

I will buy a Sapphire 5770 1Gb eyefinity card for 3 monitor display shortly.

I know the display port needs an active display port adapter if used as a third DVI connected monitor but
what if my monitor has a display port already?

Do I still need an active display port adapter or just a DP to DP cable? (with my two DVI connections)

thanks a lot

remainz -

I am about to buy a system and include the ATI 5770.
I have done a lot of research to find out how to connect 3 monitors... wondering if I'd need to configure 2 video cards.
Long story short - - - The 5770 can do it all!
According to the guy on the following link - youtube video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZAkCoaq384&feature=related - it is simple and you don't need an adapter!
