Eyefinity Quad Monitor Setup

[jaysjunkymail]

Hello, I'm new to having more than 2 monitors and am hoping to setup an eyefinity display. My computer is on order and I already have my 4 brand new identical 27" monitors on a 3+1 stand. (It's incredible and I can't wait to hook a computer up to it)

Can anyone give me some guidance on what I'll need for the quad monitor setup. I'm having trouble find answers on the AMD site and even in the previous questions asked here concerning quad monitors instead of triple.

The computer will have an RX580 card with 3 DP, 1 HDMI, 1 DVI. The monitors are all HDMI and I have plenty of spare HDMI cables laying around. (Monitors also have DVI, but I don't really want to spend money on cables if I don't have to)

Do I use 2 active DP to HDMI, 1 passive DP to HDMI, and 1 HDMI cable?
Or do I use 1 active DP to HDMI, 2 passive DP to HDMI, and 1 HDMI cable?

Thanks to anyone that can offer assistance!

Oh, and if the rest matters (I know it doesn't...)

There should be an eyefinity setting in the AMD software once all the monitors are plugged in and go with the 2 active adapters from DP to HDMI and the 1 Passive.

Thanks so much. I figured as much but it was hard to tell from the questions I could find that were already answered.

Have fun with your new setup.
