Is it possible to get this working with eyefinity?

Atm it detects the 3 monitors but only allows eyefinity with 2, so I either have to leave the left monitor or right monitor a black screen

Bought an active adapter but won't recieve it until tomorrow

Anything I can do now to get it working or just impossible with passive one?
 
You must have an Active displayport adapter.

http://support.amd.com/us/eyefinity/Pages/eyefinity-dongles.aspx

• A maximum of 2 legacy monitors (VGA, DVI or HDMI) can be enabled simultaneously, provided that each monitor is connected either directly or via a “passive” DisplayPort™ adapter/dongle. “Passive” adapters/dongles will NOT support more than 2 legacy monitors.
To enable support for more than 2 monitors, “active” DisplayPort™ adapters/dongles are required (or monitors with direct DisplayPort™ connectivity must be used).
 
Unfortunately, with a passive DP to DVI adapter you can't run all three screens at once (hence the requirement for an active adapter to use all three). So one screen will have to be left off until you receive the active adapter.
 
Ah, sucks :p

Just read a few forums they claim some work, but don't post saying how they get it to work :p

Guess i'll just have to wait then ^^

Thanks.
