Eyefinity connections question.

[Mynight]

Right my friend has just brought himself 3 new monitors without bothering to do any research and is surprised he doesn't have the right connections on his gpu. (More money than sense).

He has a msi twin frozer 7970 boost which has;

2xmDP
1xHDMI
1xDVI-I

And he has brought 3 asus VN279QLB (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-060-AS) which have;

1xD-Sub
1xHDMI
1xDP

Would I be correct in assuming he could use;

2 monitors - mDP to DP cables
1 monitor - dvi-dp

Would this cover the eyefinity 1 active dp connection requirements?

Only reason I don't think hdmi is it doesn't power on wake does it?

Also I'm a bit unsure if a single 7970 has enough grunt for 3x27" any ideas?

Thank you for your help.

So due to two being displayport the dvi-dp would have to be active? Do they even make them?

Sorry I either misread or missed the edit. Thank you
