Hey all,
I've been searching around for what seems like hours and I can't seem to find a definitive answer.
I have an HD 7950 GPU which has 3 ports; HDMI, and 2 miniDP. Right now, I have 3 monitors hooked up via HDMI, HDMI with miniDP adapter, and DVI with miniDP adapter. I cannot run all 3 at once and I understand this is because the 3rd DVI connected monitor would need a ~$100 active adapter.
My question is, since all 3 monitors are HD and I have 3 HDMI cables, can I just get another HDMI to miniDP adapter? Or do I need a $100 one for HDMI too?
AMD has no "active" HDMI adapters on their approved list, the approved adapters are specifically labelled "passive". Will they still work if I have 3 monitors connected via, HDMI, HDMI to mDP and another HDMI to mDP without some weird power supplied active adapter?
Any help is appreciated. I just want to run my eyefinity with HDMI only! Having to drop another $100 is a nasty surprise, or just poor research on my part.
Thanks!
