It needs to be an "active" adapter.

For that resolution a single-link adaptor is fine.

It needs to be an active adaptor to work, like the one I linked to.

You can ask in the customer services forum, or send a webnote, to ask when they might be in stock.

You can't link to competitors, it's against the rules. Hence the *s and that we cannot recommended others. So you'll want to remove that link asap.

Not a problem at all, just didn't want you to get in trouble with a mod! All sorted now.

Hopefully they come back in stock soon!

can i use a hdmi to dvi if its possible.

can i use a hdmi to dvi if its possible.

Not for eyefinity. To use three monitors you have to use at least one displayport.

So 2 DVI + displayport with adaptor is best.

Not at the same time as both DVI connectors.

You can only use 2 of the 3 at the same time.

The third monitor has to be run from DisplayPort directly or from DisplaPort using an active adapter.

Yeah for gaming 1 or 3 monitors is best.

2 is good for a bit of extra space or having something else on while gaming on just one screen.
