Eyefinity connections question

[Corsario]

Hi all, I have an MSI r7850 twin frozr III and in the back it has an HDMI, 2- Mini display port and one DVI connections. Well, I´m trying to make a 3 monitor setup, and I have allready the HDMI to HDMI connected to the TV.

(after reading some confusing stuff about active and passive adapters, MDP to DVI active adapter and then DVI to HDMI adapter, etc).

My grafics card brought one MDP to DP adapter...so, can I use a DP to HDMI cable to connect one of the monitors?

Then can I use a DVI to HDMI adapter cable to connect the third monitor?

I am just trying to avoid several adapters by using directly conversion cables from the grafics card into HDMI, but don´t know if (not using the so caled active adapters) I will be able to get eyefinity to work.

Thank you all

these were the cables I was intending to use directly from the grafics card to the monitors (in the case of the disply port to hdmi cable, i would use mini display port to display port adapter that came with the graphics card)

It'll be easier to answer if we know what connections each of your monitors has.

Regarding eyefinity specifically: if your TV is one of the 3 monitors, you are probably better off skipping eyefinity and using standard extended mode.
Eyefinity works best when all three monitors are same size and resolution.

Not knowing what your connections are, i'd use the HDMI to HDMI for the DV as you are doing now, and connect the other two monitors via their DVI ports (using a MiniDP and DVI port on the card, plus a Mini DP to DVI active adapter).

If you need to use HDMI on the monitors, you can get Active Display Port to HDMI adaptors (they aren't as common as DVI ones, but are the same price), and for the DVI port, a DVI to HDMI adapter.

my three monitors are 32" 1920x1080p (they are all Televisions) and they have HDMI input or VGA input.
