Eyefinity 6870 n00b question

[EvilDreams]

Hi,

Right now on my old 4850 I run a 120Hz monitor through DVI (this only has DVI) and a 32" LCD TV through HDMI (this also has a VGA port).

I have a spare monitor which has DVI, HDMI and VGA ports.

What I want to do when my 6870 arrives (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-252-SP) is run the two monitors, plus the TV.

The card apparently has 1 dual link DVI-I, 1 single DVI-D, 1 HDMI and 2 x Mini-Displayports.

What are my options for a 3 monitor setup? Will I have to purchase any additional adapters to get this to work?

active mini DP to DVI is what you need

Thanks,

If I get that adapter, how should I make the connections?

 

[Cleeecooo]

1 DVI D
1 DP-> DVI D adapter
1 DVI single

I ink that's how yu do it. just search for eyefinity requirements on AMD's site

This. But seeing as your TV only has VGA and HDMI, run it like this:

1 DVI D
1 DP-> DVI D adapter
1 HDMI

Just make sure the adapter is active as a passive one will not work, it needs to convert the Displayport signals to DVI.
