$90 adaptor just to use eyefinity on HD6970? Cmon

Last response: in Graphics & Displays

I'm researching what I need to setup 3 or 4 monitors on a XFX HD 6970. I plan to use a projector in hdmi and two additional 23" monitors (flight sim). I believe that you must use at least one of the mini display ports to enable more than two monitors in eyefinity. Since I don't think any monitors come with mini display ports, it appears that AMD has conned everyone into needing this 90$ adaptor.

I would appreciate anyone's input on the best method I could use to setup eyefinity on the 6970.

I know you don't need a dual dvi link adapter to use a mini display port adapter, you can find cheaper adapters that will work, I personally don't know which ones specifically nor intend to do the research for you.

Your right no monitor I know of comes with mini display port, but there are many monitors with display port. Found here.

And a 6 Foot mini display port to display port cord can be had for $17.
