Hey all,
I have a 5850 graphics card (Eyefinity compatible) and lately got a third monitor for my setup.
Now the third monitor won't work, and it's looking like I need to get an Active Displayport Adapter.
I've found a really cheap cable here http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-44000-02-40R-Active-Display-Cable/dp/B00433C5Y4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327164236&sr=8-1 but I was wondering would that do the job?
It certainly seems like it but the more expensive adapters I've looked at have a USB cable to power them and I was wondering where does this one get its power from as I think I may need one with additional power.
Many Thanks!
