Connection help 7850 and monitors

[lab4]

So i'm about to purchase a 7850 and want it to power all three of my monitors.

At present i run 2 off a hd4890 and 1 off a 5770. No issues at all just all plug and go.

However the 7850 only has 1 dvi out, 2 dp, and 1 hdmi.

My understanding is that for eyefinity I need active dp adapters. so is that TWO adapters i need at stupid cost, or 1 as i can use the dvi and hdmi alongside it.

Also i'm not fussed about multimonitor gaming, i just want to use 3 screens for general usage, does this negate the need for active dp adapters? ie can i use passive?

if i need active (stupidly expensive) dp adapters, can you please recommend which to buy (uk market).

Those of you that multi-mon game, where do you plug all the usb cables in?

Cheers for quick response

all of the monitors are vga and dvi compatible and two also have hdmi inputs. two are 1080p one is 1440x900

So the bottom line is 3 monitors off a single 7850 requires at least 1 active dp adapter, working alongside the hdmi and dvi?
