Ok im getting 3 monitors that all have DVI

i understand that on my 6950 gfx card ill have to use one of the mini display ports... meaning ill have to purchase an active converter.

i didnt get a mini dp to dp with my card.... so am i right in saying ill need to by a mini dp to dp..... then an active dp to dvi.... OR are there any active mini dp to DVI???

Sadly it's out of stock...

This is what you need: XFX Active Mini Display Port to DVI Dongle, or something similar.

I got 2 of these elsewhere and they work fine, this looks like the one here: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CB-000-XF

Currently out of stock @ OCUK, but I'm sure its available at other retailers.....

P.S. Ensure you get an 'Active' adapter or it will not work for Eyefinity.

cannot find this the one you listed but ive found the sapphire one...

Sapphire Active Mini DisplayPort to Single-Link DVI Adapter - DisplayPort adapter - mini-DisplayPort (M) - DVI-D (F)

i presume this will work??

looks like the same thing.

Yep, same thing, mind that these are both single-link, so will support only up to 1920x1200 which should be fine as anything more than that over three monitors would probably be too much for a single 6950 !
