Eyefinity Setup Questions

[kevy1986]

Hi there,

I'm set to order another 2 monitors on Friday to go with my crossfired 5870's.

I would be ordering another 2x Dell SP2309W, the questions I have is regaurding running eyefinity is with the display port. These monitors have DVI, VGA and HDMI, no display port. I was under the impression that I will need to purchase an adapter for this to work ? I'm not very happy about this as this little experiment is gonna cost around 500.00 for the two monitors and desk to fit them on and now a adapter cable at a stupid price !

I have noticed on OCUK that they sell :

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=CB-048-OK

Am I right in thinking this would do that job or am I getting this wrong ? They seem v cheap compared to the Dell 69.00 display port convertor.

Also dose anyone with eyefinity know how well it would run games such as BFBC2 on an eyefinity setup, would I need to run games on medium settings ect ?

Thanks,

Kev

Thanks v much for the reply, would it have to be VGA or could I do it with the HDMI one instead. Will the cheap ones here on OCUK do the job ? THanks for your help this is the last thing I need ot get ordered.

Ok I think i'll just stick with the DP to VGA and order it from here most likely. I was toying with the idea of buying 2 cheaper monitors but I saw in a post some guy doing that but the colours were all messed up on the two at the side. This monitor runs at 2048 x 1152 and gets blury when put at 1080p, so it would have to be something of that res, will VGA support that res also ? Thanks
